S&P 500 Technical Forecast

The S&P 500 is weakening from the Feb 2 high and it is this price action that is helping create a ceiling around 4595 that may prove to be the end of the bounce. The rally is viewed as only a bounce, or corrective rally given the context of a market that looks like it may be in for another major leg lower in the weeks ahead.

A break below the 4451 level is viewed as being significant for accelerating the turn lower. This level marks both the Feb low and the 200-day moving average. The two technical thresholds are creating a strong level of confluent support.

If we see a breakdown below support the possibility of a maturing H&S pattern comes to the forefront with the right shoulder taking shape. It will still take a break of the neckline to fully trigger the pattern. For now, using both noted short-term levels as points of interest to potentially take action.

Nasdaq 100 Technical Forecast

TheNasdaq 100 is rolling over from what could make up the right shoulder of a head-and-shoulders pattern. This is all coming after a decline out of the bull channel dating to September 2020. It may still take some time, but as long as in the near-term the NDX stays below the 200-day at 15055 and Feb 2 high at 15196, the outlook is neutral to negative.

Dow Jones Technical Forecast

The Dow Jones continues to fare better than the SPX and NDX, but if we see a full-on risk-off event unfold soon, then the Dow will suffer big losses as well. For now, the near-term top-side level to watch is 35824 and near-term support is at 34799.
