Subject: Weekly Market Outlook: Bearish Trend Remains in Focus as Geopolitical Risks Continue to Drive Market Direction
Dear SPR Premium Subscribers,
As discussed in last week's Weekly Pretiming Report, the U.S. equity market officially entered the Bearish Zone on a weekly basis. Based on that transition, we expected this week to be characterized by downside stabilization accompanied by limited rebound attempts. Early in the week, market action generally unfolded within that expected range.
However, conditions changed meaningfully during the latter half of the week.
As military conflict between the United States and Iran intensified once again, geopolitical uncertainty increased sharply, triggering renewed risk aversion and another wave of broad market selling.
As we approach the end of July, weekly market momentum has now shifted decisively into a downtrend. Selling pressure has continued to strengthen as geopolitical uncertainty and profit-taking across AI and semiconductor stocks reinforce one another, creating an increasingly negative feedback loop for investor sentiment.
Over the weekend, President Trump announced a halt to further military strikes, and Iran has also temporarily suspended retaliatory attacks. While this has reduced immediate military activity, it remains unclear whether this represents only a temporary pause or the beginning of a new diplomatic negotiation phase.
Because market sentiment has been changing almost daily in response to developments surrounding the conflict, buying and selling flows remain highly unstable, and market volatility is likely to stay elevated until greater clarity emerges.
Scenario 1: Geopolitical Stabilization Leads to a Recovery
If military tensions begin to ease next week and diplomatic negotiations show meaningful progress, market sentiment could improve rapidly.
Under this scenario, the market could begin transitioning into a rebound trend during the course of next week, with a more sustainable recovery potentially developing in early August.
Should bargain buying strengthen alongside investors who previously missed July's attempted rally, the market could even regain sufficient momentum to re-enter the Bullish Zone.
However, this scenario requires one critical confirmation: visible improvement in weekly buying pressure beginning next week.
At present, such evidence has not yet appeared in the weekly trend data. Therefore, this scenario should currently be viewed as a conditional outcome that depends primarily on a meaningful improvement in geopolitical conditions.
Scenario 2: The Existing Downtrend Continues
If geopolitical tensions remain elevated, negotiations fail to make meaningful progress, and crude oil prices remain at current high levels, we believe selling pressure is likely to continue dominating the market.
Under this scenario, the current weekly downtrend would likely remain intact through approximately the second week of August.
Because the bearish transition occurred roughly two weeks earlier than originally projected, we also expect the overall timeline of the decline to shift forward by a similar amount.
As we move toward the middle of August, selling pressure may gradually begin to fade, allowing bargain-buying interest to emerge and setting the stage for a short-term rebound.
However, even if such a rebound develops, our broader outlook remains unchanged.
Based on our monthly trend analysis, we continue to expect that any recovery during mid-to-late August is likely to be temporary. The market would then be vulnerable to another renewed decline beginning around late August to early September, consistent with the broader corrective cycle outlined in previous monthly reports.
At this stage, the temporary pause in military activity between the United States and Iran has become the single most important variable for the market.
Whether this develops into a lasting diplomatic breakthrough or proves to be only a short-lived pause will likely determine the market's direction as we move into early August.
For that reason, next week's price action represents one of the most important inflection points for the current market outlook.
We encourage subscribers to monitor both geopolitical developments and market behavior closely throughout the week.
As always, if market conditions change materially, we will provide updated analysis as quickly as possible.
