S&P 500 Price Forecast – Stock Markets Continue Grind Higher

The S&P 500 has pulled back just a bit during the trading session on Wednesday in the Globex session, but as the cash market opened in New York City, we started to see buyers jump back in. All things being equal, the market is trying to break out to the upside and with monetary policy been so loose it is likely that we will continue to try to go higher. Pullbacks will be supported all the way down to the 3600 level, as it was a large, round, psychologically significant figure that also offer both support and resistance multiple times.

Based upon the measured move from previous trading, we should see about 400 points, from the breakout at the 3600 level. Ultimately, this is a market that should go looking towards the 4000 handle. The 4000 level course will be a psychological level that a lot of people will be paying attention to and I would anticipate that it would be a big reaction just waiting to happen. Ultimately, I think this is a market that will be noisy but there should be plenty of opportunities to get long based upon monetary policy, stimulus, and of course the post vaccine trade.

All things being equal, if we get a Republican Senate confirmed in January, that will keep the US government out of the equation as well and could send this market higher based upon a bit of a “Goldilocks situation.” The 50 day EMA underneath should be massive support as well, ultimately, I think that there is no way to short this market anytime soon. With this, look for value and then take advantage of it.
