S&P 500 Technical Analysis - Daily Chart
The S&P 500 index has been declining every day since the price was rejected to multiple resistance levels on 13 December 2022 (see red circle on the chart).
The index is now trading below all major moving averages, pointing to a bearish trend.
The 3900 level that was previously a support is now acting as a resistance level.
The price is moving down towards the target of 3600, but it could find temporary support at the 3800 level and then at the 3700 level, before reaching the final target.
After all this negative price action of the past days, we could see a relief rally today towards the 50-day MA (red moving average), which will be the first resistance level.
The RSI dropped further to 40, confirming a bearish trend.
Overall, the index price could fall further in the upcoming days, until it reaches the oversold condition on the RSI.

Is the Santa Claus rally still possible?
The Santa Claus rally is the positive movement of the S&P 500, which usually rises in the last five trading days of the year and the first two trading days of the new year.
Given the current market conditions, it's likely that the Santa Claus rally might not happen this year, due to fears of a potential recession.
