Despite strict lockdowns in Shanghai, China has been trying to manage its deadliest outbreak of COVID-19.


Chinese authorities in Beijing, China's capital, are warning that the virus has been spreading unnoticed for almost a week, adding to the quickly growing sickness.

Looking Forward...

Investors in the S&P 500 are preparing for the busiest week of corporate earnings season yet. This week, over 160 S&P 500 firms are set to report profits, with all attention on reports from large tech giants including Amazon, Apple, Google parent Alphabet, Meta Platforms, and Microsoft.

Technical Analysis of the Daily Swing Chart

According to the daily swing chart, the major trend is down. The resumption of the decline will be signaled by a trade through the intraday low of 4218.50. The major trend will turn to up if the price breaks through 4509.00.


4094.25 to 4631.00 is the short-term range. The market is now trading on the weak side of its retracement zone, which is resistance around 4299.25 to 4362.75.

Technical Forecast for the Daily Swing Chart

Trader response to 4267.25 is expected to impact the direction of the June E-mini S&P 500 Index into Monday's closing.

Bearish Scenario

The presence of selling will be shown by a persistent move below 4267.25. Taking out 4218.50 indicates that the selling pressure is increasing. This might set the stage for a run to the major bottom at 4129.50, followed by a drop to the 2022 low at 4094.25.

Possibilities for Growth

The presence of buyers will be signaled by a prolonged advance over 4267.25. Look for a push into 4299.25 if this develops enough upward momentum. Overtaking this level would indicate that purchasing is becoming more active, with a 50% level at 4262.75 being a possible objective.
