The S&P 500 Index trades approximately 7% below its all time high value that it reached on 4th January 2022. Volatility of the index fell sharply in the last three days which supports the notion that selling pressure has cooled off tremendously. Because of that we are growing increasingly bullish on SPX. This view is also supported by bullish developments taking place on the daily time frame. However, due to quickly changing conditions in the market and upcoming rate hikes by the FED we remain very cautious. We think interest rate hikes pose a substantial threat to further rise of SPX in the medium-term and long-term.

We are no longer bullish on U.S. indexes. Instead we are turning bearish and expect indices to continue lower as the FOMC approaches closer.
