S&P 500 Index has been trending down since its high near $4,448 on 16th June 2023. During this period, the index retraced toward the 20-day SMA, and several technical indicators started to flash warning signs on the daily time frame; for example, RSI broke below 70 points, MACD and Stochastic began to reverse to the downside, and DM+ with DM- slightly converged. Interestingly, these developments followed nearly the perfect harmony between the decline (from January 2022 high to October 2022 low) and rise (from October 2022 low to June 2023 high) of SPX. Even though the recent decrease in the value of SPX has not been very significant, multiple developments put us on high alert. We will pay close attention to the price’s ability to break below support at $4,325 and 20-day SMA; if it succeeds, it will raise the odds of a short-term/medium-term trend reversal. Contrarily, if SPX bounces off the support area, it will be bullish.
