Buyers took control to push the price towards the resistance zone of 6926-6942, where sellers took over. The index then retested the support zone of 6904-6910 (not far from VVAH-1) around 7:00 AM. <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n After this retest, the price rose and ended the morning between the support\/resistance zones of 6926-6942 and 6956-6963, a zone that contained the price throughout the day, even after the US open and despite several breakout attempts. GDP, PCE, and unemployment data showed an economy that is still robust and had very little influence on the markets, as they were in line with investor expectations, leading to no negative surprises. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n This morning, the S&P 500 opened in Zone 1 at 6938. Sellers attempted to take control right from the open but were pushed back at the support zone of 6936-6941, a level where they had already been repelled last night before the close. Buyers pushed the price up to the resistance zone of 6956-6963. The price is once again trading between these two zones, and one of them will need to be clearly breached for the price to move in either direction. <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Today, we will have the PMI figures as well as the Michigan index.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Scenario 1 ;\ud83d\udfe2: Upon a breakout of the Resistance zone of 6956-6963<\/strong> and confirmation with a break of yesterday’s high at 6969<\/strong>, the price could resume its ascent and target the resistance zone of 6982-6989<\/strong> with the weekly VPOC at 6983, then head towards the ATH.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Scenario 2 \ud83d\udfe1: Upon rejection at yesterday’s high of 6969<\/strong>, the price could once again consolidate between the support\/resistance Zones of 6926-6942<\/strong> and 6956-6963<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Scenario 3 \ud83d\udd34: Upon a break of the support zone of 6925<\/strong> and 6934<\/strong>, the price could target yesterday’s low at 6911 and return to the level of <\/span>6900<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n \n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/div>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/lheurefinance.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Capture-decran-2026-01-23-064455.jpg” alt=”Chart for the market brief of January 23″ title_text=”Chart for the market brief of January 23″ url=”https:\/\/lheurefinance.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Capture-decran-2026-01-23-064455.jpg” url_new_window=”on” align=”center” _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/lheurefinance.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Capture-decran-2026-01-23-064647.jpg” alt=”Chart for the market brief of January 23″ title_text=”Chart for the market brief of January 23″ align=”center” _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”||38px|||” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_divider color=”gcid-secondary-color” _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||37px|||” global_colors_info=”{%22gcid-secondary-color%22:%91%22color%22%93}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/lheurefinance.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/60secondeschrono-Petite.jpg” alt=”60secChrono” title_text=”60secondeschrono” align=”center” _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”||0px|||” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider color=”gcid-secondary-color” _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{%22gcid-secondary-color%22:%91%22color%22%93}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/lheurefinance.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Macro.jpg” alt=”Macro” title_text=”Macro” align=”center” _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\n The US economy demonstrates stronger-than-expected resilience, which reinforces the stance of a “generally bullish S&P 500” while providing the Fed with room to maneuver.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Current: 4.4% <\/p>\n Unemployment Claims: 200K (Expected: 209K) <\/p>\n The PCE index, the Fed’s preferred measure, holds no negative surprises but confirms that the fight against inflation is not yet over.<\/p>\n PCE Core (Quarterly Q3): 2.90% (In line with forecasts) Analysis: Inflation is broadly in line with expectations.

Open<\/strong>: 6938 (Zone 1)
Vix<\/strong>: 15.63<\/span><\/p>\n
The VIX index fell back below 16, confirming a return to Risk-ON. The S&P 500 almost entirely closed Monday’s bearish gap. The US index closed at 6944. <\/span><\/p>\n
Currently, forces appear rather balanced, with the cumulative delta being quite neutral. However, yesterday’s bullish divergence has been validated, and for now, the RSI is trading in positive territory. <\/span><\/p>\nZones of Interest:<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n

Macro<\/h2>\n
GDP and Employment: Remarkable American Resilience<\/h2>\n
GDP Growth (Q3)<\/h2>\n
Forecast: 4.3%
Previous: 3.8%
GDP Price Index: 3.7% (In line with expectations)
Analysis: The acceleration in growth (4.4% versus 3.8% in the previous quarter) indicates an economy growing faster than anticipated. This is a sign of strong resilience that supports the Dollar, but it could delay the Fed’s interest rate cut timeline. <\/p>\nLabor Market<\/h2>\n
Regular Beneficiaries: 1,849K (Previous: 1,875K)
Analysis: The labor market remains very tight with fewer layoffs than expected. This lack of significant deterioration allows the Fed to maintain high rates longer to stabilize inflation without fearing an immediate recession. <\/p>\nInflation (PCE): Stability Under Scrutiny<\/h2>\n
PCE Core (Annual – Nov.): 2.8% (Versus 2.7% previously)
PCE Core (Monthly – Nov.): 0.2% (Stable)<\/p>\nEnergy: Crude Oil Inventory Surplus<\/h2>\n
Forecast: -1.000M
Previous: +3.391M
Analysis: With a surplus of over 3.6 million barrels when the market expected a draw in inventories, the pressure on energy prices is clearly bearish. This supply surplus relative to demand exerts downward pressure on crude prices. <\/p>\nMarket Impact Summary<\/h2>\n
Analysis: The initial impact was neutral as the figures were largely anticipated by investors. The strength of the GDP\/Employment pair confirms the “soft landing” scenario, which supports equity indices in the medium term. <\/p>\n
