<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n VPOC<\/strong> : 6964.75 <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n SP500 Trend<\/strong>: Overall neutral sentiment \ud83d\udfe0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Yesterday, the S 500 continued to trade sideways between the 6960\u20136966 and 6992\u20137000 support\/resistance zones. A reaction was expected on the release of the employment numbers, which indeed occurred after the strong data: price attempted another breakout above 7000 (stopped at 7011) but then fell back to the 6929\u20136935 support. After that, price returned to the early-week range to finish quietly on the 6960\u20136966 support and below VVAL-1. The index therefore followed the range scenario, with the 7000 wall still refusing to give way entirely. <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Today, the S 500 opened at 6964.50 in the middle of yesterday\u2019s value area, but has just broken below VVAH-1. The index tested the 6956\u20136962 support zone and is now heading toward the well-known 6993\u20137000 area. The 7000 zone has been tested three times since the start of the week and, even though each attempt has pushed slightly higher, the area is still being defended by sellers. This level remains the key for any potential upside. The 6960\u20136966 support level has been slightly lowered to 6956\u20136962, slightly widening the range established after Wednesday\u2019s employment announcement. <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Since the start of the week, there have been quite a few spikes in selling volume, which could indicate that sellers are being absorbed on each attempt at a sharp drop.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n In the options market, we can see a huge volume of puts around 6900, showing that investors are hedging against a potential decline. This level therefore forms a wall that would need to be broken if price is to move lower. <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n It is very likely that investors are waiting for Friday\u2019s inflation data before taking meaningful positions. Inflation remains the Fed\u2019s primary concern in the face of such a strong labor market. <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Today, we will get the unemployment data as well as the existing home sales figures.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Scenario 1 \ud83d\udfe1: On another rejection at 7000<\/strong>, price could continue to consolidate in the 6956-7000<\/strong> area<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Scenario 2 \ud83d\udfe2: On a clean break above 7000<\/strong> and confirmation with a break above 7011<\/strong>, price could move toward the 7030-7043<\/strong> resistance zone<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Scenario 3 \ud83d\udd34: On a break below the 6956-6962<\/strong> support zone and confirmation by a break below VVAL-1, price could pull back and target 6930<\/strong>, then 6900<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/lheurefinance.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/2026-02-12graph30mn.png” title_text=”2026-02-12graph30mn” url=”https:\/\/lheurefinance.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/2026-02-12graph30mn.png” 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\/02\/2026-02-12marketprofil.png” title_text=”2026-02-12marketprofil” url=”https:\/\/lheurefinance.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/2026-02-12marketprofil.png” 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\/02\/2026-02-12options.png” title_text=”2026-02-12options” url=”https:\/\/lheurefinance.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/2026-02-12options.png” 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_divider color=”#E6C068″ _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][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” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Wall Street closed slightly lower, with Treasury yields higher and the dollar index also higher, following robust jobs reports.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n The Department of Labor released figures on jobless claims, with a slight decline in initial claims expected.<\/span><\/p>\n \n<\/div>\n <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Markets reacted to the employment data, with analysts noting that strong job growth could influence the Federal Reserve\u2019s interest-rate decisions.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Roku and GlobalFoundries expect solid results, while Generac missed expectations due to lower demand for generators.
