  • SPX Continues To Rebound

    SPX Continues To Rebound

    In the second trading day of January 2022, SPX hit $4800 which is the all-time high. Afterwards, SPX experienced lower lows and lower highs which resulted in a fall in price to the 2022 low of $3635 in mid-June 2022. While SPX fell between January and June, it established a couple of resistance levels with the last resistance level before the year’s low being at $4179 which was in the beginning of June.

    4hr Chart

    Since the 2022 current low of SPX which was reached in June at $3635, the price of SPX has continued to rally. This rally has taken the price above the $4000 psychological level. In the last 5 trading days, the price of SPX has been able to close above $4000 as the current price is at $4152. A breakout from the June resistance level may occur and price could reach $4200 but this is not guaranteed. 

    Daily Chart

    The reason why the upside movement of SPX can’t be guaranteed is because the momentum on the bulls is waning. On the flip side, whether price reaches $4200 or not, the bears might eventually take over and push price below the current low and a new low might be formed below $3635 as RSI is currently showing that price is overbought on the 4H timeframe.

Our analysts forecasted the price drop of $SPX in one of our articles in January 2022.

    4hr Chart

    The sell-off in January was due to the Fed signaling its readiness to tighten monetary policy, including raising interest rates multiple times this year to tame inflation that has shot up to the highest level in almost 40years. The $SPX has been a bull market over the decades. The sell-off in January was a normal correction expected in a bull market. The correction of $SPX made the price hit the lowest price in January at $4221.07. A bounce from the dip occurred in the last week of January as a Doji was formed, which could lead to the beginning of price recovery.

As the bulls begin to become more active, the price could reach $4805.68 in the coming weeks. Price has currently crossed to the upper region of the Bollinger bands on the 4hr chart.

  • Buyers Are Optimistic In The Growth of SPX

    Stocks in the $SPX are yet to relax in the uptrend this year. A buy in the first quarter of the year could have resulted into meaningful gains by now. Howbeit, for the past 3 weeks, price has been in a range on the weekly chart. Last week, $SPX got to the highest price level ever. This is highly profitable for long term shareholders. Despite reaching an initial overbought point in January 2018, price has refused to fall. Instead momentum for an uptrend increases. $SPX was a bit above $2,930.00 last week. Price of $SPX might reach $2,990 before a complete change of trend.

    Analysis with the weekly chart technically shows Ichimoku has a future uptrend. Price maintains the upper region of the bands. Price, after breaking out from the downtrend, is yet to be overbought. Price broke out from the support level last week and tried to retest on the line before a new breakout in the upward direction occurred this week, which might indicate a continuous uptrend.
