S&P 500: A New Market Peak?

Recent Developments

Recently, the S&P 500 failed to exceed the peak of $5264.85 from March 28. It has since fallen below key levels at $5100 and $5056. This validates our forecast of a peak around $5260, conditional on sustaining key lower thresholds. We now observe a potential downward five-wave pattern targeting $4800 in the near term, potentially followed by a rebound, dependent on the index staying below bearish thresholds.

The possibility of a significant peak is highlighted in additional charts:

This scenario suggests a possible drop to $4600 before a final surge to around $5800. Alternatively, the index might have commenced a prolonged bear market post-1933 bull run, potentially reducing its value to nearly $1500.

Current weekly indicators mimic late 2017 dynamics, suggesting potential short-term gains similar to 2018. However, negative divergences in monthly indicators indicate these gains might be limited.

Conclusion

While itโ€™s too early to confirm which scenario will unfold, the developing impulse pattern may tilt the scales toward a deeper bear market. We remain vigilant, monitoring these pivotal movements closely.
