Analyst Outlook
Joan Cabrero, an advisor at Ecotrader, offered a cautious outlook, stating, ”While the S&P 500 does not reach the 4,500 or fall off 4,000 points, I’m afraid that the rebound is still vulnerable and could be a technical reaction within a broader bearish context.”
Cabrero added, “Eye, this does not mean that we are going to fall vertically to those levels but it is convenient to know that the great purchase opportunities will probably appear there, although until that moment we will have to look for intermediate rebounds that can be as intense as falls,” He also noted that “the Nasdaq 100 still has a 4% rise margin to the 20,000 points where the recovery of 61.8%/66% of the entire fall is located, which would mean a 20% rebound from the minimum of April and where you could start collecting benefits or lighten portfolios.”
