S&P 500 Weekly Price Forecast – Stock Market Has Rough Week

Technical Analysis of the S&P 500

During the trading week, the S&P 500 plunged very sharply, approaching the 200-Week EMA. It will be challenging to understand what you were going to do next at this point because the market is probably going to continue to experience a lot of back-and-forth. A significant move to the downside is now possible if we break down below the 3600 mark at this moment. If that were to occur, I believe the S&P 500 would likely decline below the 3400 level, then the 3300 level.

On the other side, if we are able to move the market over the 3900 level and through to the 50-Week EMA, which is just above the 4000 level, it is possible. It will probably be more or less a "fade the rally" type of event because I believe we still have a ways to go before changing the general attitude. Due to this, the market is likely to perceive this as a situation in which we must use the weekly chart as a guide, but may also need to look at a lower timeframe, such as the daily or 4-hour chart, to start things moving in the wrong direction.

Given that the Federal Reserve has restated its aim to keep interest rates low for a longer period of time, the magnitude of the candlestick engulfs the preceding one, which does indicate that there will likely be selling pressure moving forward.
