S&P 500 Trend<\/strong>: Overall sentiment neutral \ud83d\udfe0 to bearish \ud83d\udd34<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
Yesterday morning, the S&P 500 repeated the previous day’s scenario with a consolidation between the 6771-6777 support zone and the 6815-6830 resistance zone, testing both ends.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
The CPI data triggered very little market reaction, as the figures were perfectly in line with expectations and confirmed that inflation remains “sticky.” At the US open, buyers attempted to break through the 6815-6830 resistance, but sellers regained control, blocking the attempt. For their part, sellers managed to break the 6771-6777 support (and the VVAL-1 at 6775), leaving the price to navigate between this support-turned-resistance and a support zone established at 6750-6754. The index closed at 6777. <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
This morning, the S&P 500 opened in Zone 2 at 6741, below the previous day’s value area. Sellers have taken control and pushed prices down to the 6715 support zone, which they are currently testing. Ship attacks in the Strait of Hormuz and persistent inflation have not helped investor sentiment. <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
Option levels show a large Put wall at 6600, which could constitute the lower bound for the day, as well as a smaller level at 6700. Call levels are located at 6800, 6850, and 6900, though to a lesser extent. <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
Today at 8:30 AM, we will have unemployment data, housing starts, building permits, and the trade balance. Adobe will also report earnings post-close, along with Dollar General in the pre-market. <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
Scenario 1 \ud83d\udfe1: Upon re-entering the previous day’s value area and a rejection at the VVAH-1 at 6789<\/strong>, the price could consolidate within the value area and the 6715-6720<\/strong> support zone.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
Scenario 2 \ud83d\udd34: Upon a break of the 6715-6720<\/strong> support zone, the price could continue its decline and target 6700<\/strong>, followed by the 6625-6640<\/strong> support zone, and in the extreme, 6600<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
Scenario 3 \ud83d\udfe2: Upon re-entering the previous day’s value area and breaking the VVAH-1 at 6789<\/strong>, confirmed by a break of the previous day’s high at 6822<\/strong>, the price could target 6860<\/strong>, then the 6815-6830<\/strong> resistance zone, and in the extreme, 6883-6900<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

Stock Markets:<\/span><\/h2>\n <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
The S&P 500 and the Dow Jones recorded declines, while the Nasdaq rose slightly.
