Worst Awaits Risk Assets in September
2022-12-15 • Updated
In 2021, the S&P 500 lost 4.76% in September. What will happen this time?
There is a possibility that this scenario may repeat itself. Investors' fears are not unfounded because September is the worst month for the index. According to the historical dynamics, S&P 500 (US500) has been declining in September by 0.65% over the past 38 years.
September S&P500 (US500) index performance since 1985.
Average change of the S&P 500 (US500) index during the past 36 years.
The Crypto market usually also has a rough time in September. Bitcoin lost 12.7% in September 2021, 17.4% in 2020, 17.5% in 2018, 21.4% in 2017 and 45.4% in 2015. The main cryptocurrency increased by 13.3% and 3.95% in 2016 and 2019, respectively.
However, the extrapolation of statistical data to the current situation makes little sense if it is not tied to the economic context.
Several factors confirm a possibility of a deeper correction:
- Weak numbers might relate to the financial year ending in the United States, which starts on October 1 and finishes on September 31.
- Traders bet on a 75-basis-points rate hike at the Federal Reserve meeting on September 21, which will boost the USD and add pressure on the risk assets.
- Guru traders sell stocks and invest in T-bills ahead of the deeper correction.
Technical analysis
US dollar index, H4
The RSI repeats the same pattern, which has also appeared twice in 5 previous months.
The H4 RSI goes to 84 -> RSI declines, while the price stays at the same level -> Another pump when RSI reaches 70 - 75 -> divergence appears -> deeper correction happens.
The US dollar index is already breaking above a recent high, and currently, the price is aiming at the 111.50 level.
US500, weekly
US500 keeps moving inside an inverted falling wedge. The price has formed a massive range between 3500 and 3650, and it seems like sellers are aiming for it. Moreover, the 200-week moving average, which always acts as the main support for the US500, also stands in this range. If the Fed increases the rate by 75-basis-points, the price will easily decline to this support, where we expect to see the overall market reversal.
