Brace for S&P Disaster : ‘Scary’ April Repeat Looms

Markets are whistling past the graveyard. Carley Garner of DeCarli Trading warns that the S&P 500 is flirting with serious resistance, and chasing “a couple extra points” could be a dangerous game. Beneath the glossy economic headlines, she sees a ticking time bomb: leverage.

“The numbers look great,” she says, “but how did we get here? Leverage.” That leverage is everywhere—corporate, consumer, and financial—and it leaves the market one shock away from a nasty pullback. April’s scare may have been just a warning shot. Investors betting on endless upside might soon discover how fragile this rally really is.
