S&P Outlook
Bull Case: Price testing demand that was noted last week at 4427. Bulls will want to hold this demand to eventually break above 4498 pivot. If price manages to break above, not much supply until 4570.25 (Daily) and 4597.25, both untested, which could act as possible resistance.
Bear Case: Bears will want to continue defending pivot at 4498 but will ultimately need to break below 4368 to begin creating lower lows. If price continues to trade above 4498, an untested Daily supply sits at 4570.25 and a 690 minute supply at 4597.25 which could act as strong resistance.

Expert Insights & Predictions
Hi everyone! It’s The Blonde Broker here, ready to give you this week’s Market Insights. Depending on the market sentiment, here are some trades I’m looking at:
I will be watching $SPY for a potential double top formation. We might see a bear gap closure and possibly a rejection if we break below $437 and could see a retest of $430-$431.
We also have CPI data coming out this week so we should be weary of high volatility in the coming days.I will be keeping an eye out for $AAPL, $AMZN, $NVDA, $TSLA, $META (who is facing a potential lawsuit from Elon Musk after the new twitter clone “Threads”, $MSFT, & $GOOGL.
$GOOGL- I am a little more bearish here, If it breaks below $118.50, the 50 SMA can push the price up to $1116. OR the 50 SMA can act as a support and break above $122 taking the price to $126 for the bullish case.
$UPST- Feeling a little bearish here. It looks like we have a potential double top forming at a higher high but at lower volume. We also see bearish signals from the MACD and RSI.
I would love to get lucky this week like Nancy and Paul Pelosi who made significant profits, with $AAPL increasing about 6% and $MSFT around 4%, since their call options exercises on these stocks last month. — @theblondebroker
