S&P 500 Hits Record High as Trump Pushes for Lower RatesSPX: S&P 500 Logs First Record of 2025 as Trump Pushes for Lower Interest Rates
The S&P 500 (SPX) has achieved its first record high of 2025, closing at 6,118.71, following a 0.5% gain in Thursday’s session. Investors appeared to respond positively to Donald Trump’s calls for lower interest rates “immediately,” despite the U.S. President having no direct authority over monetary policy. His statements, however, influenced market sentiment, pushing the index to new heights.
S&P 500 Technical Analysis
The S&P 500 has stabilized in the bullish zone after breaking a key resistance level. The price is likely to continue upward, targeting 6143 as the next milestone.
However, if the price closes a 4-hour candle below 6103, it could signal a bearish correction toward 6077 and 6051.
Key Levels
Pivot Point: 6105
Resistance Levels: 6143, 6180, 6205
Support Levels: 6077, 6051, 6020
Trend Outlook
Bullish: The trend remains upward as long as the price stays above 6103.
Bearish: A 4-hour close below 6103 could indicate a move lower.

S&P500 INDEX / US Stock Futures Eye Recovery Amid AI ConcernsUS Stocks Set to Rebound
US stock futures climbed higher on Tuesday, with S&P 500 futures rising by 0.4%, as markets sought to recover from Monday’s sharp sell-off.
The recent downturn was fueled by concerns over the US’s AI dominance amidst intensifying competition from China’s DeepSeek.
S&P 500 Technical Analysis
The price is expected to maintain a bullish trajectory as long as it remains above 6020. It may test 6051, and if a 1-hour or 4-hour candle closes above 6051, it could drive the price higher toward 6077 and 6103.
For a bearish scenario, the price must close a 1-hour or 4-hour candle below 6020, potentially targeting 5995 and 5970.
Key Levels:
Pivot Point: 6020
Resistance Levels: 6051, 6077, 6103
Support Levels: 5995, 5970, 5937
Trend Outlook
Bullish: While above 6020
Bearish: If a 1-hour or 4-hour candle closes below 6020

S&P500 Yesterday's crash has confirmed +9.20% rebound.The S&P500 index (SPX) rebounded strongly back to its 4H MA50 (blue trend-line), following yesterday's flash crash and recovered most than 50% of last week's Highs. The rebound took place exactly on the former Lower Highs trend-line of December's correction.
This correction was the technical Bearish Leg of the post August 05 2024 Channel Up and the rebound on it indicates that the market has turned it from Resistance to Support. Similar Lower Highs trend-lines were formed during the last two major corrections (July and April 2024) and the common feature on all (including the current one) is that a 4H Golden Cross was formed immediately after the break-out.
What followed after the Golden Cross was one last pull-back before a +9.20% rise. Yesterday's crash is most likely that pull-back. As a result, we should now be expecting a new +9.20% rise on the medium-term, with our Target being 6450.

SPX week of Jan 27th 2025
The upcoming week could be a bit wild based on the recent gaps and the FOMC meeting. There are a few ranges from recent gaps up that are prime candidates to be filled on a retracement. Especially considering that the last time the FOMC spoke about rates, the index dropped over 3% in a single day. That move is pictured below, and it spans from the current level of 6100 to the top of the lowest gap at 5890. Compounding this is that the highest level of negative gamma exposure sitting directly below the highest gap. Since volatility could pick up if we breach that negative exposure level and there are 2 large gaps below we could see a significant move down. The flip side of this is earnings of course - some of the biggest players are expected to beat estimates this week. That combined with the multiple levels of high gamma exposure sitting above the current level might keep the index rising all week towards the 6200 level. A very inexpensive way to play both sides would be far out of the money inexpensive debit spreads expiring Friday 1/31 centered around the strikes of 6200 to the upside and 5980 or even 5900 to the downside. Of course I am literally brand new at trying to do this kind of analysis so I quite possibly am getting all of this wrong (although I feel like I am getting the jargon down pretty well ;)
DeepSeek AI Model Drives Bearish Pressure on U.S. Stock FuturesDeepSeek Model Sparks Decline in U.S. Stock Futures
U.S. equity index futures are experiencing a significant decline on Monday, driven by the overwhelming popularity of DeepSeek, an inexpensive Chinese artificial intelligence model. This has triggered a selloff in AI-related stocks, with megacap companies like Nvidia being particularly impacted.
S&P 500 Analysis
The S&P 500 has dropped over 5.00%, primarily due to the release of this cost-efficient AI model in China. The market remains under bearish pressure, particularly as U.S. stocks, including Nvidia, have already experienced substantial losses, with Nvidia alone losing approximately $400 billion in market capitalization amid this development.
As long as the price remains below 6,020, the market is likely to see bearish and volatile activity. A break below 5,969 could signal further declines toward 5,937 and 5,863.
Key Levels:
Pivot Point: 5970
Resistance Levels: 6000, 6020, 6051
Support Levels: 5937, 5890, 5863
Trend Outlook
Bearish with Volatility
ES/SPX Morning Update Jan 27thOn Friday at 1:30 PM, ES broke below 6135, a key support level it had held for two weeks. Headlines fueled the move, leading to a gap down and a sharp sell-off. Initial targets at 6083 and 6070 were reached, with even more downside following.
As of now:
• 6016-20 must reclaim to trigger a short squeeze from buyers
• If 5982 fails, sellers can easily drop to 5966 and 5949 after that
SPX: yep, ATH againThe inauguration of the new-old US President was in the spotlight of markets during the previous week. As there were no changes with respect to the pre-election promises, the markets continued to react positively for the rest of the week, bringing the S&P 500 to a new historically highest level. The level of 6.122 is a new historical point. Friday's trading session brought some profit-taking moments, where the index ended the week at the level of 6.101. The short reversal was mostly driven by tech companies, where Nvidia slipped by 3% to the downside. Tesla followed by 1% dip.
Regardless of positive sentiment in an after-inauguration period, the fear of tariffs still holds on the market. Investors do not perceive such a move, especially with China, in a fear that increased import prices might bring back inflation in the US. Depending on the level of tariffs, this further might imply that the Fed could be in position to hold interest rates at current levels for a longer period of time, which in the end, might impact the US growth for this year. This is why mentioning tariffs in public by the new US administration will always imply some contraction of markets in the coming period, which means increased volatility.
Another moment which is important is the US President's address at the business forum in Davos, Switzerland, where he noted that he will request a drop in interest rates, immediately. It is unclear how Fed Chair Powell and FOMC members will perceive such rhetoric, and intrusion of the US President into US monetary policy. Certainly, this will be one of the questions which will be addressed in an after-the meeting speech of the Fed Chair Powell, in the week ahead.
Overall, the week ahead will bring PCE data, Fed's interest rate decision, overview of macroeconomic data, and address of Fed Chair Powell. At the same time, big tech earnings are expected to be posted, so this could be a promise of another challenging and volatile week on financial markets.
S&P 500: Bullish Breakout or False Move?Chart Analysis:
The S&P 500 is at a critical juncture, trading just below a significant horizontal resistance level near 6,114.
1️⃣ Key Resistance Level:
The horizontal level at 6,114 represents a pivotal resistance, as prior attempts to breach this zone were met with selling pressure.
A successful breakout above this level could signal further upside potential and a continuation of the bullish trend.
2️⃣ Moving Averages:
50-day SMA (blue): Rising around 5,980, providing dynamic support and reflecting sustained upward momentum.
200-day SMA (red): Trending upward near 5,628, confirming the long-term bullish trend.
3️⃣ Momentum Indicators:
RSI: Hovering near 65, indicating strong bullish momentum but approaching overbought conditions.
MACD: Bullish momentum remains intact, with the MACD line rising and staying above the zero line.
What to Watch:
Traders should monitor for a confirmed breakout above 6,114 on increased volume to validate further upside potential.
Failure to break above this resistance could lead to a retracement toward the 50-day SMA or previous support levels.
Keep an eye on RSI for any bearish divergence or signs of momentum weakening.
The S&P 500 is at a make-or-break level, and its reaction at 6,114 will determine the next directional move.

ES/SPX Morning Update Jan 24thES has been on an 8-day winning streak, with momentum still riding off Monday’s 6020 Failed Breakdown. Yesterday’s reclaim of 6115 drove the move to my key targets at 6136 and 6154, both hit.
As of now:
• 6135 = support; holding above keeps 6161, 6172, and 6185 in play
• If 6135 fails, expect a dip to 6115, then 6098-6105

S&P 500 Analysis: Approaching All-Time High with Critical LevelsS&P 500 Analysis
The price has risen approximately 1.00% since yesterday, driven by strong earnings results. It is currently aiming to reach the (ATH) of 6100. A pullback to 6073 and 6051 is likely if the price stabilizes below this level.

Pivot Point: 6100
Resistance Levels: 6120, 6143
Support Levels: 6073, 6051, 6020

Conflicting signals for the S&P 500 just off its record highThe S&P 500 closed less than 4 points from its record high on Wednesday. On one hand, the reversal candle with bearish volumes suggest a pullback, on the other we've seen bears humbled under similar scenarios over the past 18 months. Today I explain why I think a bullish breakout is on the cards, while highlighting my bearish concerns for market positioning.
Matt Simpson, Market Analyst at City Index and Forex.com
S&P500: Be careful of this 4H Golden Cross.S&P500 is on a very healthy bullish 1D technical outlook (RSI = 61.261, MACD = -3.250, ADX = 30.268) and on 4H it is about to form the first Golden Cross since August 21st 2024. During these 5 months, the trend has been heavily bullish but the 4H Golden Cross only managed one last High before the price corrected again to the 1D MA100. The 4H RSI indicates that we might technically be at the start of this final High pricing. For now we will stay bullish (TP = 6,165) but after that, we will only buy again on the 1D MA100.

S&P500 smashed every Resistance on its way to 6350.The S&P500 index (SPX) hit and rebounded today on the 1D MA50 (blue trend-line), following last week's break-out. This is the confirmed start of the technical Bullish Leg of the 6-month Channel Up along with the 1D MACD Bullish Cross.
Having made a Higher Low on the 1D MA100 (green trend-line) last Monday (January 13), we are expecting the standard 1.786 Fibonacci extension as the next Higher High of the pattern. That gives us a 6350 Target.

US Investors Focus on Earnings and S&P 500 OutlookUS Equity Investors Focus on Corporate Earnings and Policy Announcements
US equity investors are set to focus on major corporate earnings this week while also keeping an eye on potential trade policy announcements from the Trump administration and developments in macroeconomic data.
S&P 500 Analysis
The S&P 500 price continues to exhibit bullish momentum, supported by strong buying pressure and robust fourth-quarter earnings results.
There is potential for a corrective move toward 6000, which could act as a springboard for a further rally. If the price pushes higher, it may target 6051, and a sustained move above this level could see it test 6099. A 4-hour candle close above 6099 would strengthen the bullish case.
To turn bearish, the price must break below 6000 and achieve a 4-hour candle close below 5969.
Key Levels
Pivot Point: 6020
Resistance Levels: 6051, 6099, 6143
Support Levels: 6000, 5969, 5937
Trend Outlook
The trend remains bullish while the price stays above 6020 and 6000. A break below these levels could indicate a bearish shift.
