(Check out Carter’s worthcharting.com for actionable recommendations and live nightly videos.) The May rally could be in trouble as a new month of trading approaches. The two unfilled up gaps in the S & P 500 SPDR ETF from earlier this spring are “an issue” for the market and will more than likely have to be “answered.” A sell-off down to the May 9 unfilled gap (at the 567.50 level) and a filling of said gap would represent a 3.05% decline for the market (from current levels). A drop to the April 23 unfilled gap (at the 529.30 level) and a filling of said gap would represent a 9.56% plunge for the market (from current levels). By our work, both unfilled gaps are “in play” this summer. DISCLOSURES: None.
