Yesterday, the S&P 500 opened in the 6771-6777 support zone, just above the VVAL-1 that price tried to break. Buyers defended the level and pushed price up into the 6798-6808 resistance zone. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
Around 12:20 PM, price sold off following Iranian attacks on petrochemical sites, which drove oil prices higher. Price fell to the 6722-6733 support zone and the 6750-6753 resistance zone just before the US open. <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
At the US open, price stabilized on the 6722-6733 support while awaiting Jerome Powell\u2019s speech at 7:30 PM. After the speech and Powell\u2019s very cautious tone, price resumed its decline, dropping to the 6665-6650 support. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
This morning, the US index opens in Zone 2, below yesterday\u2019s value area, which it has already re-entered. The market is digesting yesterday\u2019s drop and is awaiting this afternoon\u2019s unemployment data. <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
Price is currently consolidating above the 6650-6665 support zone, around the VWAP. In options, we can see strong put interest at 6600, which could set the day\u2019s floor, and a call zone at 6800, thus defining the session\u2019s boundaries. <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
The VIX index, which had eased slightly, has moved back above 25 following the FOMC press conference. Caution in the face of volatility. <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\nToday, we will therefore have the unemployment data and the Philadelphia Fed manufacturing index at 1:30 PM, then new home sales at 3:00 PM.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
Scenario 1 \ud83d\udfe1: On a rejection at the 6650-6665<\/strong> support, price could consolidate between this area and the 6702-6706<\/strong> resistance zone.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
Scenario 2 \ud83d\udfe2: On a breakout above the 6702-6706<\/strong> resistance zone, price could move higher and target the 6722-6733<\/strong> area, then the VVAH-1, and then the 6771-6777<\/strong> zone.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
Scenario 3 \ud83d\udd34: On a break below yesterday\u2019s VVAL and the 6650-6665<\/strong> support zone, price could extend its decline and target the 6600-6610<\/strong> support zone.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

Market Situation & US Close<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n- The Fed strikes hard:<\/strong> <\/span>US markets reacted sharply last night following the Fed\u2019s decision and Jerome Powell\u2019s speech. The S&P 500 saw a steep late-session pullback, erasing early-week gains, weighed down by the prospect of rates remaining elevated for an extended period. <\/li>\n
- Sectors under pressure:<\/strong> <\/span>Technology and real estate stocks, particularly sensitive to interest rates, were hit the hardest.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
Today\u2019s catalyst: Post-Fed digestion<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n- Stagflation in sight:<\/strong> <\/span>The Fed holding rates, justified by a resilient economy but still-threatening inflation (notably due to oil), reinforces fears of a stagflation scenario.<\/li>\n
- Today, the market is looking for direction:<\/strong> <\/span>The session will be dominated by the digestion of this speech. Traders will have to reassess their valuation models with rates that likely will not fall before year-end. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
Oil & Geopolitics<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n- Heightened maritime tensions:<\/strong> <\/span>A commercial vessel was struck off the coast of the United Arab Emirates, underscoring growing insecurity near the Strait of Hormuz.<\/li>\n
- US response:<\/strong> <\/span>The US administration is considering deploying thousands of additional troops to secure maritime routes and protect oil hubs, keeping strong upward pressure on barrel prices (WTI and Brent).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
Macroeconomics & US Fundamentals<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n- US employment to watch<\/strong> <\/span>:Markets will begin to scrutinize upcoming jobless claims to see whether the labor market is finally starting to give way under the weight of higher rates.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
