The S&P 500 ($SPX) opened with a bullish gap today and continued grinding higher within a rising wedge structure. The move came alongside a cooler-than-expected ISM Manufacturing Prices reading, which printed at 69.8 vs. 72.9 forecast<\/strong>. While still elevated, the data suggests that input cost inflation may be losing steam\u2014fueling hopes that broader disinflation trends remain intact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This softer pricing signal gave the market a reason to breathe, especially with the Fed meeting in focus and rate cut timing under debate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Technicals at play:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • The SPX remains inside a rising wedge, typically a cautionary pattern, but still suggests momentum until proven otherwise.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Key zones to watch<\/strong>:\n
      \n
    • Rising channel resistance near 5650\u20135700<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Horizontal resistance at 5775<\/strong>, a prior breakdown level<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      Fundamental backdrop<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      • Cooling ISM Prices<\/strong>: Despite remaining high, today’s pullback from expectations softens the inflation narrative for now.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Rate sensitivity<\/strong>: Traders are watching for any Fed dovish tilt amid softening price data, even if services inflation remains sticky.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Earnings support<\/strong>: Tech continues to carry the index, but sector rotation remains thin\u2014implying fragility if mega-cap momentum fades.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        What to watch<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n
        • A continued grind toward 5775 may keep bulls engaged, but any rejection at wedge resistance could trigger a sharp reversal.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Friday’s NFP and wage data will be critical in validating whether this ISM print is a one-off or the start of broader cost relief.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

          For now, the market is leaning optimistic\u2014but with defined technical levels and macro landmines ahead, this is a time for precision, not complacency.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
