SPX Drop Likely to Reach Between 4832 and 4933SPX Drop Likely to Reach Between 4832 and 4933
There are two likely targets for the current plunge that are good candidate for where strong demand will emerge.
The first is the blue up-trend line drawn from the COVID lows. This line has 4 price touch points already which makes it a solid magnet for another touch point for this current pullback. That target today is 4933.
The second price magnet is the purple horizontal line drawn from the January 2023 high. That previous key resistance level, 4832, was eventually overcome in early 2024 which should make it likely support for the 5 week pullback underway.
The key takeaway from my point of view is that this recent sharp downdraft may just be typical back-filling action in a CONTINUED uptrend. If correct, SPX will find its footing somewhere in the yellow highlighted area intersected by the two lines and then resume its march upward to test the January 2025 highs.
So while its true that last week's plunge was breathtaking and may have convinced many that the long-term bull market is over, if you consider the 4 dramatic weekly drops that took place during the initial market reaction to COVID, you can see that similar drops can just be temporary pullbacks in what will eventually be a successful test of the primary bullish trend.
