Is the S&P 500 in a bull, bear or range-bound market?

 

Thursday, February 16, 2023

After a hotter-than-expected U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) print failed to sink the S&P 500 on Feb. 14, the bulls have held firm despite rising interest rates. On Feb. 13, Wells Fargo’s Head of Equity Strategy Christopher Harvey wrote, “the bear market is over,” while also cautioning to “expect some giveback, but not a sharp near-term reversal.”
“We see neither a bull nor a bear market, just a market,” he added.
Though Harvey remains neutral, there are a few ways to trade the index and avoid missing out on the potential upside.

For example, the S&P 500 has broken above its monthly declining resistance line, and the milestone has bullish implications. Furthermore, the index continues to bounce off its 20-day moving average, which stands near 4,081. Therefore, if the bulls can hold the key level, it will support higher prices over the next few weeks.

If not, the S&P 500’s rising support line is near 4,000 and should help cushion the blow if a sell-off occurs. Remember, while the index passed the payrolls and CPI tests, a strong retail sales print on Feb. 15 could be the next source of fundamental volatility. The reason is Treasury yields have risen materially in recent days, and the S&P 500 often struggles when interest rates rise.

As such, a cloudy fundamental picture contrasts the bullish technical outlook. But will the latter be enough to push the price higher from here?

Investing in CFDs involves a high degree of risk that you will lose your money due to the use of leverage, particularly in fast moving markets, where a relatively small movement in the price can lead to a proportionately larger movement in the value of your investment. This can result in loses that exceed the funds in your account. You should consider whether you understand how CFDs work and you should seek independent advice if necessary.
