S&P Outlook
Bear Case: Bears have successfully dismantled the demand zone established last week, shifting their focus to further bearish objectives. The next critical step involves pushing the price below and sustaining it beneath 5723 to amplify their bearish momentum. This move is crucial for bears as they aim to deepen the market’s downward trajectory.
Bull Case: Bulls face the challenge of maintaining the price above 5770, a level where a significant demand zone has been recently formed. Successfully defending this level is vital for sustaining bullish control. If this support holds, bulls will aim to breach and secure positions above 5900 as a stepping stone towards achieving new all-time highs, continuing their upward market drive.
