Investors shouldn’t get too scared by the recent market pullback, according to Bank of America. The firm believes the recent downside movement is a promising entry point before the market swings back to the green this summer. April marks the worst month for the S & P 500 since September 2023 as investors’ expectations for rate cuts fell on hot economic data. The broad market index is down 2.8% for the month and at one point fell as low as 4,953 from the 5,200 level. As of Tuesday morning, the S & P 500 was last trading around 5,100. According to strategist Stephen Suttmeier, this is indicative of “presidential election year seasonality,” during which the S & P 500 experiences a headwind in April and May. .SPX YTD mountain S & P 500 in 2024 “While the correction may not be over yet, the overall chart structure remains constructive, and seasonality supports buying a dip prior to a summer rally,” Suttmeier wrote in a Monday note. The S & P 500 has tested its 5,000 support level, Suttmeier added. He cited tactical resistance, the range at which the index will struggle to climb higher, from 5,109 to 5,146.
