🔥 Weekly Market Recap: Are We Headed for a 2022 Repeat?

The past week was a rollercoaster ride, with the market trying to rebound after a correction. But is this a real recovery or just a trap? Let's analyze the S&P 500's technical levels, my latest portfolio moves, and what I expect for next week.

📉 Market Overview

* The S&P 500 dropped below the 200-day moving average, triggering a technical sell-off before bouncing back.

* 50-day & 100-day moving averages are close to crossing—historically a sign of caution.

* Market sentiment remains weak, as investors fear rate cuts may take longer than expected.

* Geopolitical risks (tariffs, Ukraine war, inflation concerns) continue to weigh on markets.

🔹 Key Question: Are we headed for a new all-time high, or is a bigger correction coming?

📊 Portfolio Adjustments: What I Bought & Sold

📌 Sold Positions

* Adobe (ADBE): Weak outlook, exited before earnings.

* Broadcom (AVGO): Taking profits, reducing exposure.

* Procter & Gamble (PG): Trimmed position to lock in gains.

📌 New Buys

* TLT (Long-Term Treasuries): Preparing for a potential interest rate cut in late 2024.

* Oracle (ORCL): Entered ahead of earnings—AI cloud growth remains strong.

* Palantir (PLTR): Took advantage of recent pullback, holding long-term.

* Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.B): Safer bet as market volatility increases.

⚠ Risk Assessment & Market Outlook

* Major earnings next week: Oracle, Adobe, and Dick’s Sporting Goods.

* Buybacks season starting: Will this support the market?

* Unemployment rising: Potential impact on consumer spending & earnings.

🔹 Risk Level: HIGH (60%) – Prepare for more downside before a true recovery.

📢 Final Thoughts: Should You Buy or Reduce Risk?

Markets are showing warning signs, and I plan to reduce risk on any rebound next week. If the 2022 pattern repeats, we could see a much deeper pullback before a real recovery.
