U.S. House Speaker Boris Johnson: The House will approve legislation on Tuesday to end the brief government shutdown.February 3 - According to foreign media reports, the US government is preparing to issue a general license allowing companies to drill for oil in Venezuela, as part of the Trump administrations plan to ease sanctions and revitalize the countrys stagnant energy industry. Sources familiar with the matter revealed that the US Treasury Department could issue the license as early as this week. This move is a key step in attracting US-affiliated companies to participate and restoring Venezuelan crude oil production. Last week, the US issued another general license allowing companies to buy and sell Venezuelan crude oil. This license covers several downstream operations, including loading, exporting, transporting, and refining crude oil, but only if carried out by "a registered US entity."The United States plans to issue licenses to companies that can exploit Venezuelan oil.U.S. stock indexes extended their losses, with the Nasdaq down 1% and the S&P 500 down 0.48%.Walmart (WMT.N) shares rose on Tuesday, pushing its market capitalization past the $1 trillion mark for the first time, joining the ranks of companies typically represented by large tech giants.

S&P 500 Technical Analysis

The S&P 500 has dropped significantly in the futures market throughout the trading session, as it appears that risk appetite will remain low. This has a negative impact on the S&P 500 futures market, and it now appears that we will test the bottom of the most recent selloff. The market is also preparing to form the "death cross," which occurs when the 50-day EMA falls below the 200-day EMA. While I am not a fan of this signal, I acknowledge that it is one that a lot of people will pay attention to, and therefore it may become a self-fulfilling prophesy.


The 4100 level beneath has served as a temporary support barrier, but I believe it is about to be tried once more. It's worth mentioning that during the last trading session, we created a gigantic hammer, implying that there's some support right below. If we were to break through all of that support, the market would be on the verge of a free plunge. This would almost likely attract everyone's notice and might even cause some fear.


At that point, the market would then more than likely sell off quite drastically. The market would have to break above the 4400 level to even begin to look healthy and like it could be an up-trending market, or even one with a chance of recovery in general. At this point, it looks like we are in serious trouble.
