SPX 500: Three-day sell-off reached 20-day moving average, a tipping point for a bullish reversal

The US SPX 500 CFD Index retreated 1.9% from its 6,710 peak but held near its 20-day moving average, a key support level. Despite concerns over mega-cap valuations and reduced Fed cut odds, the broader uptrend remains intact. A rebound above 6,635 could confirm a bullish reversal, targeting 6,670/6,745, while failure to hold 6,560 risks deeper declines toward 6,460.

The precious metal is trading in a bullish continuation pattern, with key support at US$3,688 and resistance at US$3,785.

USD/JPY Technical: USD strength capped (again) below 148.95 range resistance, BoJ keeps rate hike hopes alive

The USD/JPY rebounded after holding 145.95 support but remains capped by 148.75/148.95 resistance. A dovish BoJ shift, with two officials voting for a rate hike, alongside narrowing US-Japan yield spreads, underpins yen strength. Unless USD/JPY breaks above 148.95, risks lean toward a retest of 146.30 and 145.95, with a daily close below the latter likely triggering a medium-term bearish breakout favoring JPY.
