Last Fridays non-farm payroll report showed weaker-than-expected job growth, maintaining market expectations for further Fed rate cuts. This result confirms market expectations that short-term Treasury bonds (most sensitive to monetary policy) will outperform long-term Treasury bonds this year, widening the yield spread between the two. This strategy, known as the "steepening trade," was one of the most popular bond trades for most of last year and continues to work at the start of 2026. Pramod Atrouli, fixed-income portfolio manager at Capital Group, stated, "There are many scenarios over the next 12 to 24 months that are very favorable for the yield curve steepening trade." An analysis of 25 of the largest actively managed core bond funds by JPMorgan shows that, historically, these funds still have a high exposure to this trade.

S&P 500. Four Bearish Weeks in a Row and Price on a Major, Long-Term Support

Technical Analysis of the S&P 500

This analysis' chart is a weekly chart of the S&P 500. The price is now forming its fourth negative candle in a row, indicating that we're on the verge of having four consecutive bearish weeks. 


We're nearing the end of a weekly candle, which will be lit on Friday. The last time this occurred was in September 2020, and the price came back and climbed higher after that. So, what do we have to look forward to now?


In the long run, the situation does not seem to be promising. A gigantic head and shoulders pattern was formed by the SP500. The most recent drop was to complete the work on the right shoulder.


The only thing left is to break the neckline (green), which may be rather difficult. The issue might stem from the fact that, in addition to the neckline, it's also a 23,6 percent Fibonacci and a true support in general, which first shown its efficacy in the middle of 2021. (orange).

Trading Methodology

It will be a big, long-term sell signal if the SP500 breaks that support and closes a weekly candle below the green line. There is still hope as long as the price remains above that level. It is widely considered that one should wait for the breakout before selling when the price is still above the main supports.


Buyers may look for an opportunity to rebound as long as we remain above; however, for that to happen, we need to see some upward momentum, which is presently lacking. The only thing left to do now is wait. The form and color of this week's candle should be quite useful in predicting future moves.
