S&P 500 key levels to watch
The S&P 500 has bounced off its earlier lows in the last couple of hours, after dipping to take out liquidity below Friday's low (6011) and key support around 6000. Where do we go from here?
On Friday, the index tumbled sharply to close near the lows. Whether that marked a near-term market top remains to be seen. A downside follow-through would attract selling activity, but the long-term trend remains bullish. The short-term trend line has been broken, which could be a bearish reversal signal, as too could be the bearish engulfing weekly candle.
Given how strong the markets have been in recent months, a correction might be welcomed even by bullish investors as it could create better buying opportunities.
On the daily chart, the key level to watch is 6000—a psychologically significant level. This level has acted as both resistance and support multiple times. A daily close below this level could potentially lead to a decline towards the lower end of the recent range circa 5830, with interim downside target being at 5908. Below that, the 200-day moving average may come into focus if selling pressure continues.
Resistance is seen at 6033 and then 6075, levels that were formerly either support or resistance.

FRA40 Trend Continuation: Will Buyers Push Toward 8,062?PEPPERSTONE:FRA40 is trading within a well-defined uptrend, supported by a rising trendline that highlights strong bullish momentum. The price has consistently made higher highs and higher lows, reinforcing the continuation of the trend.
If the index sustains its current momentum, I anticipate a move toward the 8,062 level, which aligns with the broader bullish structure. The trendline provides a strong base for potential pullbacks, offering opportunities for buyers to re-enter and drive the price higher.
Traders should watch for signs of bullish confirmation, such as higher lows near the trendline or breakouts above resistance, to validate long positions.
S&P 500 Daily Chart Analysis For Week of Feb 21, 2025Technical Analysis and Outlook:
In the most recent weekly trading session, the S&P 500 surpassed our completed Outer Index Rally threshold of 6120, rendering the Key Resistance at this level obsolete. Nevertheless, following a significant price reversal, the index breached the Mean Support level of 6049 and is approaching the critical support level established at 5995. The index could decline further, potentially reaching the Mean Support level of 5939 and the Key Support at 5827.
Should the index initiate an upward movement from its current position or the Mean Support level of 5995, it may ascend to the newly established Mean Resistance level of 6082, potentially extending toward the Key Resistance level of 6143.
FTSE100 H4 | Potential bearish reversalFTSE100 (UK100) is rising towards an overlap resistance and could potentially reverse off this level to drop lower.

NASDAQ: Opening selloff is a buy opportunity.Nasdaq remains bullish on its 1D technical outlook (RSI = 60.351, MACD = 161.240, ADX = 29.408) despite today's selling early into the session. This indicates that relative to the bullish long term trend, this correction is a buy opportunity, especially as the index hit its 4H MA50. This happens to be at the bottom of the 20day Channel Up, a pattern potentially identical to the December 10th low of the Channel Up. We are long, expecting a new +3.80% rise (TP = 22,700).

Why the Dow Jones might close its gap with S&P and NasdaqThe S&P 500 and Nasdaq have once again reached record high, leaving the Dow Jones for dust in its choppy consolidation. But I think we're now facing a relative shift in their performance, which could see the Dow lead the way and close its gap with its Wall Street Peers.
Matt Simpson, Market Analyst at City Index and Forex.com
DOW JONES: Triangle about to break out.Dow Jones is neutral on its 1D technical outlook (RSI = 53.474, MACD = 190.020, ADX = 26.060) as it is trading inside a Triangle pattern, sideways around the 4H MA50. A crossing over the R1 level will be a long aiming at the 2.0 Fibonacci extension (TP1 = 48,000), while a crossing under the S1 level will be a short aiming at Fib 0.0 (TP = 42,000).

S&P 500 BREAKOUT?! 18.2.25Simple as can be.
1. November 2024 - Feb 2025 wedge pattern, converging support and resistance with higher highs and lows.
2. Descending trend-lines within the wedge, first line broken Jan 16th (highlighted) - 3% jump in 3 days of trading, second line broken today, Feb 18th.
3. Potential rise to the top of the wedge pattern, around the mid 6300's.
Stay logical, with a plan and consistent.
Fortune favors the brave!
S&P500: 1D MA100 in support going for a Cycle high.S&P500 just turned bullish on its 1D technical outlook (RSI = 58.850, MACD = 26.670, ADX = 18.407) a week after it tested the 1D MA100. Every time the 1D MA100 gets tested and holds a +15% rally starts that tests the HH trendline. Go long, TP = 6,650.

S&P 500 Daily Chart Analysis For Week of Feb 14, 2025Technical Analysis and Outlook:
During the recent weekly trading session, the S&P 500 effectively reached and tested the critical Key Resistance level at 6083. It retested the completed Outer Index Rally at 6120, indicating a potential continuation of the bullish trend toward the intermediate target of 6233. However, a market pullback is anticipated due to this price action. Current analyses suggest that the designated downward target is set at the Mean Support level of 6049, with potential extensions to 5995, 5936, and the Outer Index Dip at 5878.
NEHT25 Trend Continuation - Will Buyers Push Toward 963$?PEPPERSTONE:NETH25 is demonstrating strong bullish momentum, supported by a well-respected ascending trendline. The consistent series of higher highs and higher lows suggest that buyers remain in control, with price action steadily advancing.
A potential pullback toward the trendline support could provide an opportunity for buyers to step in, maintaining the overall uptrend structure. If the market continues to respect this trendline, we can anticipate a continuation toward the 963.00 level as the next upside target.
This setup aligns with the expectation of a bullish continuation, offering a potential long opportunity if price consolidates or forms a higher low near the trendline.
If you agree with this analysis or have additional insights, feel free to share your thoughts in the comments!

S&P500 Breakout And Potential RetraceHey Traders, in today's trading session we are monitoring US500 for a buying opportunity around 6100 zone, US500 was trading in a downtrend and currently is in a correction phase in which it is approaching the retrace area at 6100 support and resistance area.
Trade safe, Joe.
ASX 200: Why I don't trust today's 'record high'The ASX 200 reached a record high in today's session, but it's not a convincing record high in my books. If anything, it could signal yet another false break. Using the ASX cash and futures market alongside Wall Street indices, I delve into why we need to be on guard for another bull trap before the real move potentially begins.

NASDAQ: Ready to break out of consolidation and aim for 24,600Nasdaq is neutral on its 1D technical outlook (RSI = 54.119, MACD = 45.480, ADX = 25.617) as it is trading sideways for the last 2 months. The 2 year Channel Up is intact and such consolidation patterns have broken out aggressively in the past to the new HH. As long as the 1W MA50 is supporting, the long term bullish trend will stay intact and we can aim for a total of +43% price increase (TP = 24,600) from the last HL, a -4% drop rate from the last one.

Nasdaq - Starting The Final Parabolic Year!Nasdaq ( TVC:NDQ ) is perfectly following the breakout:
Click chart above to see the detailed analysis👆🏻
Back in 2020 we already witnessed the channel break and retest, which was followed by a parabolic rally of another +50%. And in mid 2024, the Nasdaq again broke the channel trendline towards the upside, preparing the repetition of the parabolic rally which we saw four years ago.
Levels to watch: $30.000
