S&P 500: A Short-Term Bottom Ahead

On the daily chart, we see a clear rising wedge pattern that has developed over the past few months. This pattern is defined by the orange trend lines providing support at the bottom and a red trend line that limits price movement at the top.

Notably, the price is now compressing at the upper end of the wedge, leaving little room for further movement. A short-term correction may be near, as indicated by the gray shaded area on the chart—a helpful guide for estimating when the next bottom might form.

The 6,000-point level also stands out as an important retest zone. This level aligns with the orange trend line and the November high, making it a critical area to watch if prices dip.

For subscribers, it’s important to follow our risk management measures to protect against losses in case support zones break. While the trend is strong, prices are high, and caution is warranted when considering new long positions.

S&P 500: An Unusual Year for Seasonality

Historically, the S&P 500 tends to follow seasonal patterns. Typically, markets weaken leading up to the November election, followed by a rally into the end of the year. This year, however, deviated from the norm. There was no significant correction before the election.

Instead, the S&P 500 has shown exceptional strength throughout the year, with gains far outpacing those of previous years. While the seasonal pattern chart suggests a strong rally to close the year, the deviation earlier in the year indicates that the market may not follow this trajectory. This unpredictability highlights the need for caution when looking at historical trends.

However, it’s important to interpret this seasonality with caution, especially this year, as we have already experienced a significant rise in prices. Investors should consider both seasonality trends and our analysis for a balanced view. Proper risk management is essential in navigating these market conditions.
