The Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (SPX) may be in the midst of a slide of almost 10 percent, Oppenheimer & Co. said, citing the average size of previous market dips since the current bull market began.
The benchmark gauge has staged retreats of 4 percent or more on 11 occasions since March 2009, for an average decline of 9.7 percent, according to data compiled by Oppenheimer. The S&P 500 fell 4.6 percent on an intraday basis in the five days of trading following April 2, when the current decline started. The slumps typically last three to four weeks, the data show.

Using our analysis below, we recommend staying long with SPY until the end of the year. Our analysis below has more to do with the investment markets replaying investment cycles because of human biases.
We use our own behavioral indicators to pinpoint where we are in an investment cycle. Currently, our indicator for the US indicates we are in the first quarter of 1987. In October and November of 1987, the S&P 500 fell over 30%.

The Standard & Poor’s 500 (SPX) Index has “healthy intermediate-term momentum” that helped it recover from a slump at the beginning of the month and may drive it 2.7 percent higher, MKM Partners LP’s chief market technician said.
The benchmark index of U.S. stocks rose to 1,402.60 yesterday, its highest level since June 2008, after falling 2.2 percent over three days, starting on March 2. The market may be staging a “breakout” after matching its 2011 highs last week, MKM Partners’ Katie Stockton said, citing the momentum indicator known as Moving Average Convergence/Divergence. A second- straight weekly close above 1,370 today would confirm the trend and open the way to a rise to 1,440, Stockton said.

Treasuries fell for a seventh day, the longest run of declines since June 2006, after New York-area manufacturing expanded and fewer Americans filed for unemployment benefits. U.S. stock-index futures rose, European shares were little changed and the pound weakened.
The 10-year Treasury yield jumped six basis points to 2.33 percent at 8:35 a.m. in New York, with the similar-maturity German bund yield advancing three basis points. Standard & Poor's 500 Index futures rose 0.3 percent and the Stoxx Europe 600 Index was little changed near the highest level since July. The pound depreciated against 11 of its 16 most-traded peers, while the euro snapped a two-day drop versus the dollar. Soybeans jumped to a six-month high.

The Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (SPX) fell, snapping a five-day advance, after the benchmark gauge for U.S. equities rallied to the highest level since June 2008.
Financial shares swung between gains and losses following the Federal Reserve’s stress test results. Citigroup Inc. (C) and MetLife Inc. (MET) lost more than 3.8 percent. Bank of America Corp. (BAC) and Zions Bancorporation rose at least 2.6 percent. The Dow Jones Transportation Average fell 1.6 percent as the Fed’s improved economic assessment caused investors to reduce bets on more monetary easing. Apple Inc. (AAPL) advanced 2.3 percent after Morgan Stanley raised its share-price estimate to $720.
