Since the lows that were experienced in March, both Bitcoin and the S&P 500 have been on a steep recovery.<\/p>\n

The leading cryptocurrency peaked at over 170% from the price of the March lows, while the S&P 500 gained from ~2,150 points to a recent high of 2,950 in dramatic fashion.<\/p>\n

Assets around the world have been rallying on optimism regarding the reopening of the global economy as the spread of COVID-19 slows.<\/p>\n

But there are technical and fundamental signs that the rally may be unfounded. For instance, while the S&P 500 is already ~12% shy of its all-time highs, data shows that earnings in the U.S. are collapsing, which may hurt both Bitcoin and the S&P 500.<\/p>\n

S&P 500, Dow Jones Show Bearish Signs<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Analysts are charting a bearish reversal in the S&P 500, Dow Jones, and the economy in general.<\/p>\n

By the end of the Tuesday trading session in the U.S., leading stock indices saw their worst trading days in a while, with the S&P 500 posting a 2% drop. This may be the start of a more broad bear trend.<\/p>\n

One popular Bitcoin trader shared the below chart<\/a>, noting how the S&P 500 is currently seeing resistance at four key levels: the 0.618 Fibonacci Retracement of the all-time high to the March lows, the 100-day moving average, the 200-day moving average, and the psychological 3,000 level.<\/p>\n

He suggested that there’s a good chance these levels get “front run” and prices revert lower.<\/p>\n

This bearish skepticism was shared by others, who made observations like the Dow Jones is trading in a clear textbook top<\/a>, the S&P 500 is printing<\/a> an accurate Wyckoff distribution, and certain stocks are showing signs of “tiredness” amongst bears<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Fundamentally, things are not much better for equities.<\/p>\n

This chart below from Compound Capital Advisors’ Charlie Bilello shows that the S&P 500 is on pace for its lowest “quarterly GAAP earnings since Q1 of 2009.”<\/p>\n
