This week we have a stock market forecast for the week of 6/6/21 from our friend Bo Yoder of the Market Forecasting Academy. Be sure to leave a comment and let us know what you think!
The S&P 500 (SPY)
The S&P 500, (analyzed here using SPY has done pretty much what I posted in last week’s column.
“I suspect we will see a bullish whipsaw before any retest of the range lows can occur.”
This breakout isn’t well sponsored, so I would expect it to break out and then fail back down to the bearish side. I’m still not seeing the kinds of odds that I want in order to put on much new risk this week. I have one new opportunity to look at, but other than that I am still in a “risk-off” posture.
CSX Corp (CSX)
CSX has hit a powerful area of resistance after a multi-month rally. It has recently rallied into an area that is turning prices down for a new bearish wave of selling. It offers an attractive opportunity in a very so-so market and should be able to drop down to test the green target zone in the weeks to come.
Electronic Arts (EA)
Electronic Arts (EA) was on strict probation last week and failed to prove that it should be kept alive. The scratch saved over $2 in additional risk.

Gold (GLD)
Gold (analyzed here using GLD) has been a shining star in a sea of waffling and sideways chop.
As I stated in last week’s forecast, the correction is starting, and normally I’d hold on. However, the big gap down that we saw this week really “took the starch” out of the bulls and should produce a deeper and more violent correction.
It’s time to take profits and start watching this market for another entry opportunity in the future.
The Eurodollar vs The US Dollar
Another week... yet ANOTHER “tail” formed on the weekly chart of the EUR/USD currency pair.
While it is still possible this market will drop down to the profit target, the odds have dropped radically. The “risk-off” theme continues as this trade is scratched and we wait for better places to deploy capital.

Did you also consider the double top of $4,232.00 and the gap up on April 5th?
I'm assuming you are talking about the S&P? Yes, that double top is, according to our measurement tools likely to struggle and fail. That forecast is driving my assumptions for now. The gap up on the 5th and the large area of chart support near 3950 would also be potential profit targets for any short exposure that offers itself in the weeks to come. I'm still of the opinion that a weak or false breakout is coming, so watching out to not get trapped in that.
