The S&P 500 futures (US500) are trading slightly higher today after ending a 7-day winning streak on Friday. The US500 closed lower on Friday for the first time since December 6, 2023. The pause in the rally was triggered by comments from Fed members, particularly Fed President John Williams, who suggested that it would be premature to consider a rate cut. Following last week's FOMC decision, we witnessed a strong dovish rally (stocks and gold up, USD down) in the markets, and it appears that Fed officials in their recent comments attempted to temper market expectations.
Looking at the US500 chart on a daily (D1) interval, we can see that although the index concluded Friday's trading at a lower level, this decrease is barely noticeable on the chart. The US500 continues to trade slightly below 4800 points, where the previous highs are located. This also represents a key short-term resistance level to watch. On the other hand, if bears regain control over the market, the first support to watch is around the 4715 point area, where the previous price reaction and the lower boundary of the bullish price gap after the FOMC are located.
