The S&P 500 price has broken below the 22-SMA, signaling a shift in sentiment from bullish to bearish. Nevertheless, bulls are in the lead on a larger scale since the price recently rose. At first, the bullish trend paused to consolidate between the 5745.91 support and the 5900.12 resistance.
However, bulls recently broke out of this range to make a new high at 6050.88. If the bullish trend is shallow, the price might drop to retest the recently broken range resistance before climbing higher. A break above 6050.88 would confirm a continuation of the bullish trend.
However, the price currently trades below the 22-SMA, with the RSI in bearish territory. If bears are ready to take charge, the S&P 500 price will continue dropping beyond the 5900.12 level to retest the 5745.91 support.
