Is This the Turn? SPX's First Notable Bounce in 8 Weeks

After the $Cboe Volatility Index(VIX)$ spiked to 60, U.S. indices showed a positive week, but be aware that intra-week volatility has been extreme, exhausting both bulls and bears, triggering stop losses on both sides. Price action has been erratic, leading to short-term invalidation of setups, yet remaining consistent with the Support and Resistance Levels.

The previous publication presented how violent can be the bounces during bear markets, providing visual guidance on how technical analysis can be used in your favor to be profitable in bear markets as well and not even shorting (if so, the potential is higher, but with the right preparation, mindset and use of S/R levels. The publication studies the technicals of six bear markets (1987, 2000, 2008, 2018, 2020, and 2022); with the key level to watch for rejections, which is the same level that once conquered, the bottom is in.

Last weekend, I developed a graphic model outlining potential $S&P 500(.SPX)$ price action scenarios for this week, guided by the color key on the left. Price action moved with notable precision within these scenarios, finding weekly support around $4,864, consolidating near $5,729, and experiencing a significant rejection very close to $5,489 on Wednesday.

The purpose of these levels is to identify zones where price action might reverse or consolidate, making them a valuable tool for investors and traders to anticipate potential rejection points. Price movements can be projected using technical indicators, and based on the Volatility Index and Bollinger Bands, the charted scenarios both pointed towards $4,654. However, the annual level of $5,068 provided crucial support.

The week concluded by fulfilling both the bearish and bullish scenarios, with price bouncing at the $4,864 zone, later finding rejection at $5,489 and subsequently moving down again to the $4,864 zone. However, the anticipated 8% rally materialized in a single, powerful daily surge of +9.5% before price faced rejection once more.
