Review of Last Week's Closures
Last week closed with lukewarm macroeconomic data, interest rates holding steady in Australia and Great Britain (BoE). In Germany, economic sentiment and the ongoing decline in industrial indices also diminished business climate in the Eurozone's largest economy. The S&P ended oscillating near its historic high, retracting within normal patterns, in a visible and healthy correction as expected.
Macro Summary
This week begins with doubts about the solvency of the Japanese financial system after the announcement that Norinchukin Bank will liquidate $63 billion in combined U.S. and European Treasury securities. This is a yellow flag for the global market, given that the Eurodollar (the financial market of dollars outside the U.S.) is sensitive to liquidity fears, and the FED's assistance has been limited after the end of the liquidity program for banks holding U.S. bonds, the BTFP, in March this year. The BTFP closed the window for new contracts on March 13, starting a decline as existing loan maturities are paid. In addition to banking data, we have the earnings season of listed companies to set the market tone.

Macroeconomics - Technical Analysis Triggers
Charts: S&P: We continue with the Moderate trigger, with a short-term correction ending around 5440 points. Despite not breaking to new highs, the week follows the previously set supports and triggers.
- Optimistic Trigger: Seeing continued rise, the SPX could directly reach the last targets between 5505 and 5556 points, then observe a retraction.
- Moderate Trigger: In this scenario, the retraction would occur over this and next week, returning around 5440 points.
- Pessimistic Trigger: After retraction at 5440 points, the price would reject the support around 5400 points, opening targets between 5300 and 5100 points.
GEX: Market Makers' Gamma Exposure: Given we are at the end of a month whose quarterly options expirations typically add volatility to assets, observing that Gamma exposure of Market Makers has retracted is a positive sign for maintaining the financial market.
Weekly Correlation - S&P, DXY, Gold, and Bitcoin
