S&P 500 consolidates near recent highs ahead of Amazon earningsThe markets remain in a risk-on mode, with major global indices rallying. Earlier in Europe, the German DAX, the UK’s FTSE, and several other indices hit record highs. The FTSE outperformed due to weak UK economic data, which increased the likelihood of more rate cuts from the Bank of England. While the BoE cut rates as expected, two MPC members voted for a surprising 50-basis-point cut, causing the pound to drop sharply and boosting the FTSE. From the U.S., unemployment claims came in slightly higher than expected. With the non-farm payrolls report due tomorrow, the U.S. dollar has pulled back from earlier highs. Given the positive risk sentiment, currency pairs like the Aussie dollar could be on the verge of a comeback. The focus will turn to Amazon’s earnings, which are set to be released after the close. Ahead of Amazon's results, the S&P remains in consolidation, attempting to form a bottom following recent volatility caused by Trump’s tariff threats. As long as major support levels shown on the chart hold, any minor pullbacks shouldn’t change the broader technical outlook. short-term support comes in at 6042, followed by 6,000. Longer-term support is seen around 5830 area, which is critical to hold. On the upside, resistance comes in around 6085 to 6100. Above here, there is nothing significant until we potentially reach new highs. By Fawad Razaqzada, market analyst with FOREX.com

SPX500 MACRO AND TECHNICAL INSTITUTIONAL ANALYSISUS500 (S&P 500) – Integrated Technical + Macro Analysis 1) Weekly Technical Recap 1. Rising Channel & Structure • The S&P 500 has traded in a long-term ascending channel since late 2022. The most recent swing low formed around 5756, with price currently around 6000–6100, poised near the channel’s upper boundary (~6200–6350). 2. Key Weekly Levels • Supports: 5000 (major horizontal), 5200/5400 (bullish weekly OBs). • Resistance: ~6200–6350 channel top. • No downside structural shifts: Higher highs and higher lows remain intact. 3. Momentum & Indicators • SMA Alignment: 10 < 50 < 100 < 200, all sloping upwards. • Ichimoku: Price above the Cloud; conversion line above baseline. • RSI (~61): Healthy bullish zone, not yet overbought. • MACD: Well above zero, histogram red but waning. • ADX (~12): Low reading indicates mild trend strength—consistent with consolidation. Weekly Conclusion: The broader uptrend is intact, with no major cracks in the bullish structure. A pullback to 5756–5600 remains possible but would likely be viewed as a buying opportunity unless significant macro/technical damage appears. 2) Daily Technical Recap 1. Consolidation & Breakouts • After breaking out of a smaller channel in mid-December, the index entered a sideways range around 6000–6100. • Recent price action suggests an attempt to push higher, clearing a minor resistance near 6063. 2. Daily Support & Order Blocks • Supports: 6000 (recent pivot), 5930–5886 (daily bullish OB), and 5750 (major daily floor). • Former bearish OB at 6000 now broken to the upside, hinting that consolidation may be ending. 3. Indicators • SMA Stack: 10 > 50 > 100 > 200; bullish realignment post-consolidation. • RSI (~57): Above 50, moderately bullish. • MACD: Green histogram, lines above zero—resumed upward momentum. • ADX (~22): Negative DMI still slightly above positive DMI, showing residual caution. • Volatility: Declining ATR suggests calmer price moves unless a new catalyst emerges. Daily Conclusion: The index appears to be exiting its consolidation range. A decisive daily close above 6100–6110 would reinforce bullish continuation toward 6200+. Failing that, support at 6000–5930 could provide a new base for dip-buying. 3) Intraday (4H/2H/30m) • 4H: • Price is above key SMAs and Ichimoku Cloud. A descending trendline near ~6109 is the next resistance test. • RSI ~60, MACD bullish but slightly waning; ADX ~16 suggests mild uptrend. • 2H/30-Min: • Bullish break of recent bearish OBs. RSI in low-mid 60s (positive). • Choppy structure but leaning mildly bullish. Intraday Conclusion: Short-term signals favor further upside as long as price holds above 6000–5950. The 6100–6117 zone is pivotal. A break higher likely triggers momentum buying; a push below 5950 re-opens deeper retracement levels. 4) Macro Context & Integration A) Growth & Earnings Backdrop • U.S. GDP: Grew 2.3% annualized in Q4 2024, still positive but moderating from 3.1% in Q3. • Late-Expansion Cycle: Consumer spending robust, unemployment near lows. Manufacturing lags (PMI <50), but services remain healthy—this mix supports corporate revenues, particularly in consumer-facing S&P 500 sectors. • Earnings: Q4 earnings soared ~12–13% YoY; broad-based improvements. Net profit margin ~12.1%, above the 5-year average. Impact: The positive earnings environment and stable (though slowing) macro growth favor the S&P 500’s large-cap constituents. A flattening manufacturing sector is less impactful given the index’s heavier weighting in services/tech. B) Fed Policy & Inflation • Rates: Fed funds at 4.25–4.50%, having paused after cutting 100bps since Sep 2024. Real rates turned positive (~4% Treasuries vs. ~3% core inflation). The Fed expects only two more cuts in 2025, so policy remains cautious. • Inflation: Headline ~2.9%, near Fed target. Core at 3.2%—declining. Wage growth ~3.8% helps consumer spending but marginally pressures corporate labor costs. Impact: Slowing inflation bodes well for profit margins. The S&P 500 typically benefits from stable rates. However, valuations are more sensitive if real yields stay high for longer, potentially impacting growth-heavy segments like tech. C) Valuation & Investor Sentiment • Forward P/E ~21–22x: Above historical norms. The market is pricing in continued earnings strength and a tame bond environment. • Fund Flows & Positioning: Hedge funds are net short S&P 500 futures (~-75k contracts), indicating skepticism and room for short covering. VIX ~15–16 suggests low volatility, but any surprise (e.g., Fed hawkish pivot, geopolitical flare-up) could spike volatility. Impact: Elevated valuations mean the index needs ongoing earnings beats to maintain its uptrend. The widespread short positioning could fuel a short-covering rally if bullish catalysts (e.g., better macro data) emerge. D) Geopolitical & Policy Risks • Trade Tensions: Potential new 10% tariffs on imports, plus the semiconductor “chip war” with China. Large S&P constituents (especially tech) could be affected if the White House escalates. • Fiscal Policy: Trump’s new administration may propose corporate/middle-class tax cuts. This could lift earnings but raise deficits, nudging yields higher. Impact: So far, the market assumes “status quo” on trade. Any negative developments might trigger a bigger correction. On the flip side, tax cuts can boost after-tax earnings. E) US Dollar & Global Liquidity • Strong Dollar: ~DXY > 102. This can hamper S&P 500’s multinational revenue translation but also attract foreign capital inflows. • Liquidity: Fed QT is balanced by still-high reserves and capital inflows. Despite net draining, the S&P 500 hasn’t lost liquidity support. Impact: Dollar strength slightly weighs on exports, but robust inflows keep large-cap multiples elevated. If the dollar rally extends, watch for earnings headwinds in globally exposed sectors (tech, industrials, consumer discretionary with foreign operations). 5) Synthesis: Macro + Technical Outlook 1. Technical: • Bullish structure from weekly down to intraday, with a breakout attempt above 6100 looming. Supports at 6000–5930. 2. Macro: • Strong EPS growth and fading inflation provide a tailwind. Elevated valuations demand continued corporate outperformance. • The Fed’s neutral stance is neither too restrictive nor overtly stimulative, but real rates remain positive—potentially capping P/E expansions. Overall Bias: Bullish, with a watchful eye on valuations. A break above 6100–6117 could fuel another leg to 6200–6350. Downside remains limited unless macro disappointments (or trade escalations) emerge. If earnings remain robust, the S&P 500 should sustain its uptrend into 2025. 6) Potential Trade Scenarios 1. Bullish Continuation (Breakout) • Trigger: Daily/4H close above 6100–6110. • Stop-Loss: Below 6000 (recent pivot). • Targets: 6200 (initial), 6350 (channel top). • Macro Rationale: Strong GDP/earnings momentum, stable inflation. Hedge-fund shorts provide potential short-covering fuel. 2. Pullback Buy (Dip Entry) • Scenario: Price retreats to 5930–5886 (daily OB). • Entry Trigger: Bullish reversal candle on daily or 4H. • Stop-Loss: Below ~5850. • Targets: 6000–6100, then possibly 6200 if bullish momentum resumes. • Macro Rationale: Slowing inflation and solid consumer spending reduce the risk of a major selloff. 3. Bearish Breakdown (Contrarian Short) • Scenario: Market fails at 6100, closes below 5900. • Stop-Loss: ~5950–6000 to avoid whipsaw. • Targets: 5750–5600 if trade tensions intensify or earnings disappoint. • Macro Rationale: An unexpected hawkish Fed twist, re-escalation of tariffs, or a growth shock could invalidate bullish structure. 7) Risk Management & Final Thoughts • Watch Real Rates: If U.S. 10-year yields push further above 4%, the cost of capital for high-valuation stocks rises, potentially triggering multiple compression. • Trade War Rhetoric: Reintroduction of tariffs on Chinese imports or aggressive semiconductor restrictions can dent S&P multinational earnings. • Valuation Premium: The S&P 500’s forward P/E ~22x leaves limited upside if earnings decelerate or bond yields rise sharply. Final Take: While the technical trend is bullish, the macro environment is supportive but not exuberant. The index can climb higher on continued earnings beats and stable Fed policy. However, overextended valuations and potential external risks (trade tensions, currency effects) warrant vigilance.

S&P 500 Index SELLThe index will peak in the first half of 2025 before losing 10-15% in the second half. This may be due to high inflation and higher interest rates, which the Federal Reserve (Fed) will keep high despite the slowdown in economic growth. now the stock market is dominated by a ‘bullish’ trend, but soon it may reverse and cause a hard reset. This is indicated by active growth of quotations of protective assets - precious metals, as well as shares of industrial and energy companies. Now is the best time to sell 30-40% of US traded stocks

SPX500 programmed to have a correction.My analysis is straightforward. On the weekly timeframe, there is a significant bearish divergence on the RSI, indicating that the market is moving in the wrong direction relative to fundamentals. This divergence has been present for six months, so one might assume there’s no reason for a change. The market is in a bubble, but it needs a catalyst to wake up. While I appreciate some of Trump's policies, certain aspects of his approach could crash the market. - Imposing tariffs on most imports might seem like a good idea. Trump aims to make the U.S. a producer of goods rather than an importer. However, the U.S. has lost much of its manufacturing base, engineering expertise, and know-how. China now dominates these areas, making this policy difficult to implement within the short span of a four-year term. Instead, tariffs on all imports would raise prices, worsening inflation. The market's prolonged rise has been largely driven by the Fed's efforts to control inflation. Higher inflation would force the Fed to raise interest rates, spooking the market. Another risk is a potential disagreement between the government and the Fed over policies, which would create uncertainty. I believe that increased inflation, higher prices, and tariffs will ultimately undermine trust in U.S. monetary policies, leading to the opposite of the intended effect. The USD could weaken, and more countries may move away from dollarization (regardless of tariffs, as Trump cannot dictate other nations' monetary policies). The market would likely react negatively, and the bearish divergence would play out, potentially causing a crash lasting at least a year, similar to what happened in January 2022. I hope I’m wrong, but this scenario has a high probability of occurring.

S&P500: Neutral on 1D shows enormous upside potential.S&P500 is neutral on its 1D technical outlook (RSI = 53.735, MACD = 16.510, ADX = 17.690) as it just crossed over the 1D MA50 again and after a 1D MA100 rebound remains relatively low inside the Channel Up pattern. The 1D RSI is also bouncing on the S1 level, where the September 6th 2024 bullish wave originated and reached the 1.786 Fibonacci extension. That is an excellent technical level for the next HH (TP = 6,300). ## If you like our free content follow our profile to get more daily ideas. ## ## Comments and likes are greatly appreciated. ##
