This image is no longer relevant

The S&P 500 is still trading lower, but the index could reverse upward: oscillators signal a turnaround. The S&P 500 closed down 0.76%, continuing its corrective movement. However, technical indicators suggest a potential rebound. The Marlin oscillator is emerging from the oversold zone, which could be an early sign of an upward reversal. If the index consolidates above the Fibonacci level of 5,670, it may open the path for further growth toward 5,769.

Tech stocks could play a crucial role in this recovery, as the technology sector has historically shown resilience during market turbulence. If the index confirms the strength of key support levels, solid trading opportunities could emerge. Many S&P 500 companies remain attractive for buyers, especially following their recent corrections.

Trade wars escalate: Trump imposes new tariffs, markets respond with losses

This image is no longer relevant

The US stock market extended its correction after Donald Trump announced a tariff hike on Canadian steel and aluminum to 50%. This decision aroused uncertainty among investors and fueled market volatility. The benchmark indices turned negative, with the stock market—especially airlines like Delta and American Airlines—facing worsening forecasts. These companies are braced for rising costs and a potential drop in demand.

If trade tensions continue to escalate, market pressure will intensify, raising risks for American businesses. In this environment, traders should monitor sectors that could benefit from shifts in global trade flows. Higher tariffs often reshape investor preferences, creating new opportunities. Additionally, high volatility provides excellent conditions for short-term trading.

S&P 500 and Nasdaq futures attempt to recover, but analysts remain cautious

After a slump on Wall Street, S&P 500 and Nasdaq futures showed signs of recovery. Donald Trump made several statements softening the impact of new tariffs, giving the market a temporary boost. However, Wall Street analysts remain cautious.

Global trade tensions, rising bond yields, and China's economic slowdown continue to weigh on markets. Many companies are revising their profit forecasts downward, which could limit the stock market's upside potential in the near term.

Corrective movements often create excellent entry opportunities, especially when the broader trend remains intact. The technology and industrial sectors typically react first, making them key areas to watch. Despite cautious outlooks, market fluctuations provide favorable conditions for active trading.
