Christian Harris @crh_55: "📈 SPY Closes At 691.8,..."

United Kingdom

📈 SPY Closes At 691.8, Registers All‑Time High Yesterday SPY closed near 691.8, breaking above the December closing peak around 690.4 and registering a new all‑time closing high while still trading within the rising channel that has guided price since late summer. The candle is constructive but not explosive, suggesting a controlled continuation of the uptrend rather than a blow‑off move, with price now hugging the upper half of the channel and only a few points beneath the projected channel roof. Moving Averages & Trend Structure SPY remains above the 20‑day, 50‑day and 100‑day simple moving averages, all of which are upward‑sloping and stacked in bullish order, confirming that short‑ and medium‑term momentum continue to favour the bulls. The 200‑day moving average sits far below current price in the low‑620s and is also rising, reinforcing that the dominant long‑term trend is firmly up, though the extended distance from this baseline highlights that the market is becoming more stretched and vulnerable to standard mean‑reversion pullbacks. Support, Resistance & Key Zones With the prior 690–690.4 level now marginally exceeded on a closing basis, that band becomes first support on any near‑term dip, backed up by the rising 20‑day average currently running in the high‑680s. Below that, more substantial support lies around 671–672 at the recent swing low and 50‑day moving average, followed by the 652 shelf and the major structural floor near 640 that has marked the base of all significant corrections since August. Implications For Long‑Term Investors For long‑term investors, the combination of new highs, rising moving averages across all key timeframes and a still‑intact rising channel argues for maintaining core exposure, as the technical backdrop remains consistent with an ongoing bull market rather than a topping pattern. That said, the market has delivered three consecutive years of double‑digit gains and is now trading at elevated valuations, so gradually rebalancing or trimming into strength—while planning to add on pullbacks towards the 50‑day or 100‑day averages—can help manage risk without fighting the prevailing trend. Tactics For Short‑Term Technical Traders Short‑term technical traders can now treat the 690 area as a tactical line in the sand. As long as SPY holds above this former ceiling on a closing basis, dip‑buying towards 690–688 with tight stops just below the 20‑day average aligns with trend‑following strategies targeting the upper channel boundary. A daily close back below roughly 688, especially if accompanied by follow‑through, would warn of a false breakout and favour short‑horizon mean‑reversion trades targeting the 675–672 zone around the 50‑day moving average. Key Market News From The Last Session In the latest session the S&P 500 gained about 0.6 percent to close at a record near 6,902, helped by continued strength in energy and financial shares as investors positioned for higher oil prices and robust bank earnings, even as some early‑year AI leaders consolidated. More broadly, this advance extended a tentative early‑January rebound after the index ended 2025 with a rare Santa‑rally disappointment and three straight years of double‑digit gains, leaving strategists divided between caution over rich valuations and optimism that rate cuts and ongoing AI investment can sustain the bull run into 2026.
