S&P 500, SPX, NASDAQ 100, NDX – OUTLOOK:

  • While the retreat in recent weeks has reduced the upward pressure, it is not sufficient to conclude that the nascent uptrend in US equities is over.
  • The S&P 500 and the Nasdaq 100 index remain within their well-established rising channels.
  • What’s next for the two indices?

Is the US Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell’s testimony to Congress this week a game changer for the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq 100 index? Probably not.

From a less-subjective perspective, the retreat in both indices doesn’t suggest the uptrend since the end of 2022 has reversed (with reference to the daily chart). As the colour-coded daily candlestick charts show, the S&P 500 index and the Nasdaq 100 index are in the Consolidation phase within the context of a broader Bullish phase. The coded charts are based on trending/momentum indicators with the objective of debiasing the view. The framework has been able to separate the consolidation phases and trending phases since the downtrend began last year.

Furthermore, with the CBOE Market Volatility index, VIX, hovering around the 2022 lows, the probability of a significant drawdown event appears to be low. The correlation with the bond market volatility index (MOVE index) seems to have broken down in recent weeks, suggesting that higher yields/a rise in bond market volatility may not be a key driver for equities, unlike last year.

Juxtaposing with other technical indicators the probability is high that a new (up)trend may have started since Q4-2022. Let’s look at the indices individually.

The S&P 500 index has been cruising along a slightly upward-sloping channel since last year. Stronger-than-expected US data and increased Fed hawkishness haven’t triggered a break below the channel just yet. Furthermore, the rise above the December high of 4100 established a higher-top-higher-bottom sequence, implying an uptrend.

For the four-month-long upward pressure to dissipate, the index would need to break below the vital cushion at the December low of 3765. Such a break would disrupt the higher-top-higher-bottom pattern since October, pointing to a broader 3500-4200 range in the interim.

Like the S&P 500 index, the Nasdaq 100 index remains well within a rising pitchfork channel since November. The decisive break above the December high of 12166 triggered a breakout from a sideway range potentially clearing the path toward the August high of 13721. The index would need to break below key support at the 11200-11800 area for the upward pressure to reverse.
