🔄 Market Update & Technical Validation
Following our prior analysis, where we identified the 4940–5200 range as a key support zone, price action has now confirmed the technical significance of that region. After an intense period of selling pressure post-breakdown of the 5555 level, the market found its footing precisely within that support window, rebounding with strong momentum.
The reversal was not only technical in nature—it aligned almost perfectly with a major macro development: an announcement from President Trump suspending the newly proposed tariffs for 90 days (with the exception of China, for which tariffs were increased).
This triggered a sharp risk-on response across global markets, leading to an aggressive short-covering rally and renewed buying across equities, particularly in the S&P 500.
⚖️ Technicals vs. Macro – What Led the Move?
This development once again highlights a recurring theme in market dynamics:
Do charts lead the news, or does news lead the charts?
In this case, the technical setup provided a clear roadmap in advance. The 4940–5200 range was highlighted as a potential reversal zone due to its historical significance, Fibonacci retracements, and market structure. As price reached the lower bounds of this zone, oversold conditions and waning downside momentum hinted at potential stabilization.
Then came the macro catalyst—Trump’s surprise tariff suspension—which ignited the actual reversal.
The takeaway?
While news events often serve as the spark, it is the technical context that sets the stage. The market was already positioned for a potential rebound; the headline simply provided the fuel.
🔍 Current Outlook
-
Price has now reclaimed key intraday resistance levels, with bullish momentum accelerating.
-
Short-term sentiment has flipped, though volatility remains elevated.
-
Watch for how the market interacts with the broken 5555 level—now potentially acting as resistance.
