S&P 500: uptrend or just corrective move?

Although the S&P 500 shows optimism, its growth since March 14 has been viewed as more of a correction. A move toward the target range of 5,881–5,910 becomes more likely if the price consolidates above 5,769. This could reinforce the short-term uptrend, attracting new buyers.

Traders should consider the current technical setup, evaluating support and resistance levels. Holding above key levels may serve as a buy signal, but high volatility requires caution when making decisions. Read more here.

Fed's decision to hold interest rates supports the US stock market

The Federal Reserve kept interest rates unchanged, providing a positive catalyst for the stock market. Major stock indices, including the S&P 500, closed higher after the central bank acknowledged economic uncertainty but saw no immediate need to change monetary policy.

The market interpreted this decision as a sign of stability, boosting demand for stocks. With no new monetary restrictions, investors may continue seeking opportunities in the stock market, particularly in technology and financial sectors. Read more here.

Market optimism: more Fed's rate cuts lie ahead?

US stock indices, such as the S&P 500 and Nasdaq, continue their rise, fueled by expectations of future Fed rate cuts. Fed officials' comments have reinforced positive sentiment, despite short-term turbulence in the Chinese market.

Investors may consider portfolio diversification, including assets sensitive to rate cuts. Market momentum will depend on further signals from the Fed and upcoming macroeconomic data. Read more here.

Fed eases recession fears, but risks do not disappear

The FOMC meeting in March reassured investors, reducing fears of a potential recession. Despite a slight upward revision of inflation forecasts, the S&P 500 remains an attractive investment option. However, geopolitical risks could still trigger sell-offs.

For traders, flexibility is key—while the market shows resilience, short-term corrections remain possible. The best approach is to use volatility to identify entry points, factoring in fundamental data and market news. Read more here.
