I wrapped April at the Daily Dirtnap Conference, and while I was away from the desk, the market settled down and put in a strong close. The S&P held important levels and bounced well into month-end.
Market Dynamics;
• S&P finished April strong after defending support.
• Nasdaq held up better than expected despite macro pressure.
• Cannabis stocks ripped — not a favorite group, but the move was real.
• Software, internet, and cyber names bounced hard off the lows.
• Oil, energy, and materials sold off and showed relative weakness.
Thoughts;
Just looking for clean setups and good risk/reward.
