Weekend Review: S&P 500 – What’s Next?

WEEK OF 12/8/2024

Hello Traders,

It’s been a while since our last weekend review, I hope everyone has been trading well. The S&P 500 continues to surf all-time highs, though things are feeling a bit lofty up here. While the uptrend remains intact, there are signs the market may need to pause or pull back to find new buyers and liquidity.

Key Observations:

  • Volatility: Both the VIX and relative volume (rVol) have been notably low, hovering around 50% of typical daily volume. This suggests the market could grind slightly higher but also points to potential exhaustion.

  • Imbalances: Despite the strong rally, there are several major imbalances below that remain unrepaired. We’ll be watching for potential corrections if selling pressure intensifies.


Critical Levels to Watch:

Upside Targets:

6127.25 (Weekly Imbalance Target)

  • No value area was established near last week’s TPO high, leaving a large weekly imbalance. This remains an upside magnet, though there’s no set timeline for when it needs to be repaired.


Resistance Levels:

6106.50 (Untested 4-Hour Level)

  • This level must be reclaimed for bulls to target the weekly imbalance at 6127.25.

6098.75 (Daily Level)

  • Failure to sustain above this level weakens the bullish momentum, increasing the likelihood of a pullback.


Support Levels:

6085 (ETH Daily + 4-Hour Support)

  • This is the first critical support zone, though the 4-hour chart shows some weakening. If this fails, expect a move toward the next support cluster.

6063 – 6058 (Key Support Cluster)

  • This area includes multiple low-volume nodes and technical supports. Failure here could accelerate selling pressure.

6042 (Double Daily + Weekly Level)

  • A major untested support zone, offering a strong potential bounce area. I like this level due to its multiple confluences across timeframes.

6026.50 (Untested Weekly Level)

  • This is another important zone to watch. If this level fails, expect significant downside momentum.


Key Takeaways:

  • Bullish Case: As long as price stays above 6085, momentum remains with the bulls. A break above 6106.50 could trigger a push toward the 6127.25 imbalance target.

  • Bearish Case: A failure to reclaim 6098.75 and 6106.50 will keep pressure on bulls. Breaks below 6085 and 6042 would open the door to much deeper corrections.
