US500 Outlook Post US PCE Data Fundamental Analysis US500 experienced a pullback from record highs after the release of the PCE inflation data as traders absorbed persistent inflation pressures and reassessed the timing of US Fed rate cuts. The sentiment has shifted to cautious optimism with a moderate risk-off tone as traders took profits after a strong August rally and rotated out of high growth tech stocks. The PCE data matched market forecasts, maintaining expectations for a Sep Fed rate cut but offering no new bullish momentum for equities. Traders are now watching upcoming labor data and CPI releases for added confirmation before recommitting to aggressive upside positions. Technical Analysis The US500 is in correction after reaching new highs, with the market positioned for possible sideways action until significant new economic headlines emerge. Traders are awaiting fresh macro catalysts and digesting possible elevated rates and inflation. Odds for a September cut remain high but sticky inflation means the Fed may stay cautious. Next week’s jobs and wage data are key for market direction. Weakness in technology stocks could continue to drag on the index if earnings and regulatory headwinds persist..

S&P 500 - Triple Top Breakout (BUYS)Recent price action reveals clear bearish and bullish structure. My focus lays in these two levels marked on the chart. Price is trending up and broke the higher low structure. After failing to push down lower, it left a mark of a big wick before going up to reach new highs again. A triple top pattern was then formed at the prior higher high before finally pushing through with three white soldiers. That being said, there are multiple indications now for a continuation up, and also combined with price failing to go lower when it last had the attempt going down. So now after the three white soldiers, price is smoothing and slowing at the beginning of today, kinda looking like it's forming a little bullish pennant. Confluences are set and here is my idea to buy S&P 500.

US500 Outlook and Key LevelsThe US500 index currently exhibits a balanced market sentiment with a subtle bullish inclination, navigating near critical support levels amid prevailing uncertainties. Market participants are closely monitoring key technical thresholds while awaiting significant economic indications that could trigger a decisive directional move. In this environment, comprehensive analysis comprising both fundamental and technical perspectives is essential for understanding potential market trajectories. Fundamental Analysis: This week’s trajectory is predominantly influenced by macroeconomic and corporate fundamentals. The upcoming release of the US Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) inflation data, the Federal Reserve’s preferred inflation indicator, is scheduled for Friday. This report is expected to be a pivotal catalyst, shaping investor expectations regarding the Federal Reserve’s future monetary policy stance. Additionally, major corporate earnings from technology giants such as Nvidia and Salesforce are on the horizon. These reports hold the potential to generate heightened sectoral volatility and influence broader market sentiment. The tone of comments from Federal Reserve officials, particularly Richmond Fed President Barkin, alongside ongoing discussions about the timing and magnitude of potential rate cuts, further add to the market’s uncertain macroeconomic backdrop. Political developments, including debates over the Fed’s independence and potential geopolitical shocks, also contribute to the overall risk landscape. Technical Analysis: From a technical standpoint, the US500’s volatility appears confined within well defined levels, highlighting a range bound market outlook. The key technical levels to watch include: Support at 6,430: serving as an intraday technical floor, where sustained breaches could signal further downside. Resistance at 6,530: the pivotal level that, if surpassed, could open the door to bullish extensions and trend acceleration. Weekly support at 6,340 and resistance at 6,600, defining broader stability and potential extension boundaries. Key levels are tightly clustered, and the upcoming week’s movement will likely hinge on market reactions to economic data releases, earnings surprises, or central bank signals. A decisive move beyond 6,530 could establish a bullish trend, while a breakdown below 6,430 might reinforce bearish momentum. Traders should remain vigilant for rapid reactions to top tier event risks and be prepared for potential shifts in market sentiment. The coming days are critical for identifying the next directional bias of the US500, with key levels providing clear guideposts amidst a backdrop of macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainty.

S&P 500 Fed independence concerns + tariff threatsFed/Political Risk: Trump announced the dismissal of Fed Governor Cook, citing mortgage-related allegations. Markets saw this as a fresh escalation of political pressure on the Fed. The dollar initially dropped (-0.4%) before recovering, while gold held a +1% gain. Treasuries steepened sharply (2s30s at steepest since Jan 2022), highlighting rising risk premia around Fed independence. This adds uncertainty for monetary policy credibility, a potential headwind for US equities. Tariffs/Tech Risk: Trump threatened new tariffs and export restrictions on advanced technology in retaliation for digital services taxes. This raises headline risk for US megacaps, particularly tech, and could weigh on Nasdaq sentiment. Geopolitics (France): US–France tensions escalated after comments from Ambassador Kushner, coinciding with France’s plan to recognize a Palestinian state. While not directly market-moving, it reinforces geopolitical overhangs that could spill into risk sentiment. Market Impact: Futures: S&P 500 (-0.14%), Nasdaq (-0.18%) modestly lower. Rates: Steepening curve adds pressure to longer-duration equities. Risk Tone: Elevated political/geopolitical noise may cap near-term upside. For S&P 500 traders: Fed independence concerns + tariff threats = watch for tech underperformance and a potential pickup in volatility around US political headlines.

SPX500 Market Outlook | Powell’s Jackson Hole Speech in FocusSPX500 – Overview U.S. Sectors in Spotlight Ahead of Fed’s Jackson Hole Gathering Wall Street is awaiting confirmation of a potential September interest rate cut when Fed Chair Jerome Powell speaks at the Jackson Hole symposium on Friday — a potentially pivotal event for markets, particularly for rate-sensitive sectors. This year’s gathering comes after a week of mixed inflation data, as consumer and wholesale price reports gave conflicting signals on how well the U.S. economy is handling President Trump’s import tariffs, complicating the Fed’s policy outlook. After cutting rates by 50 bps in September 2024 and 25 bps in both November and December, the Fed has since held steady. Rising expectations of another cut next month have buoyed homebuilders, banks, and retailers, though a hawkish surprise from Powell could weigh on these sectors. 🔎 Technical Outlook Bearish Scenario: As long as price trades below 6389, downside pressure remains, targeting 6366 and, if broken, extending toward 6321. Bullish Scenario: A confirmed 1H/4H close above 6389 would open the way toward 6406 – 6425, with a stronger push possible toward 6468. 📍 Key Levels Pivot: 6389 Support: 6366 – 6341 – 6321 Resistance: 6406 – 6425 – 6468 ⚠️ Expect heightened volatility during Powell’s Jackson Hole speech — risk management is essential.
