Seasonality Sell for $MS into May ($XLF, $KRE)

6 במאי 2020

There is the potential for a nice selloff in MS (and BAC) after busting a parallel channel. The banks have been hit during virus.

On May 4 we received a rare 2 million single block trade on MS, which we have splashed and are testing now. We are dropping below. This is a very bearish signal for me.

MS (and other banks) typically have a selloff somewhere after the April FOMC and into May (sell in May). This shows a big drop in the next few days.

Barely missed the 38.2% retracement this week. Maybe this trade gets a second wind but it is that time of year where it will not be easy. Probably the best option would have been OTM credit call spreads sold.
