That’s longtime stock-market bull and National Securities chief market strategist Art Hogan offering up his bearish stance in a CNBC interview ahead of what looks to be a very busy week of trading .

He said the S&P 500                                                                                                                                                                                                                       SPX, – 0. (%)                                                                                                                                                          could see a pullback of as much as 5%.

“Stocks are relatively priced for perfection, and you tend to have a bit of an overreaction to bad news or in-line news when that happens, ”he continued.

With a crowded slate of earnings on tap, Hogan warned that it will probably be the biggest winners getting the biggest haircuts.

“There are five technology names that are driving a good chunk of the movement in the S&P. On the other side, you see the utilities index, ”he explained. “The index is trading at 24 times and it’s throwing out a dividend that’s less than 3%. Both of those numbers are historically stretched. This is an index that usually trades at 24 times and has about a 5% dividend. ”

Apple                                                                                                                                                                                                                       AAPL, – 0. (% )                                                                                                                                                          , which reports on Tuesday, is one of those big tech names . The stock has more than doubled over the past year amid optimism about new services like streaming video and the potential for a wave of iPhone upgrades later this year. Tesla                                                                                                                                                                                                                       TSLA, -1. (%)                                                                                                                                                           is also on deck this week.

Hogan, however, isn’t completely bearish on the future, even though he says his cash levels are higher than normal. He said he sees the next pullback on the S&P as a big buying opportunity for investors.

Watch the interview:

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             

Hogan’s call for a rough week is looking prescient so far, with futures on the Dow Jones Industrial Average                                                                                                                                                                                                                       YM , -0.
