The S&P 500’s Critical Moment

There’s no easy way to say it; things aren’t looking great for many investors right now.

While oil is up, nearly all other stocks are down.

The Nasdaq dropped 1.4% this week.

The Dow shed more than 1,000 points.

And the S&P 500 just hit a critical moment:

 

For the first time since May last year, it slipped below its 200-day moving average.

That doesn’t mean it can’t recover.

You can see in that same chart that it bounced hard after the fallout from Liberation Day cleared last year.

That could easily happen again if we get a string of good news regarding the terrible situation in the Middle East.

Fortunately, you don’t have to just buy an index like the S&P 500 and hope it reverses course again.

Your experts are laying out ways to play this ever-changing environment.
