Daily Price Outlook

- SPX consolidates near 5521.53, with resistance at 5599.36 limiting further upside.

- A break below 5406.38 could trigger a correction toward 5313.07.

- Market focus remains on Fed policy signals and broader macroeconomic trends.

The S&P 500 (SPX) is trading at 5521.53, holding steady after a strong run, but facing resistance as traders assess macroeconomic conditions.

The index remains above the pivot point at 5510.29, suggesting underlying strength, yet the momentum appears to be losing steam near key resistance at 5599.36. A breakout above this level could fuel further gains toward 5685.55 and 5780.12, reinforcing the longer-term uptrend.

However, downside risks persist, particularly if SPX fails to hold above 5510.29. Immediate support sits at 5406.38, and a break below this level could expose the index to a deeper pullback toward 5313.07 and 5200.68.

The 50-day EMA at 5764.78 remains a critical long-term marker, currently indicating a stretched market that may be due for consolidation or correction.

Investor sentiment remains cautious ahead of key economic events, including the upcoming Federal Reserve minutes and macroeconomic data releases.

Traders are closely monitoring inflation signals and the Fed’s policy stance, which could dictate near-term direction. A hawkish tone from the central bank may trigger profit-taking, while dovish comments could reignite bullish momentum.

For now, the index remains in a consolidation phase, with a decisive move above 5599.36 needed to confirm a continuation of the rally. Conversely, a break below 5406.38 may signal a shift in sentiment, prompting a correction.
