Jerome Powell spoke in front of Congress during the trading session on Tuesday, letting the markets know that the Federal Reserve is on hold for the foreseeable future. Ultimately, it looks as if the risk is still on when it comes to the United States and therefore the S&P 500 continues to climb.

S&P 500 Price Forecast – Stock Markets Continue To Power Higher

The S&P 500 rallied significantly during the trading session on Tuesday, breaking out and above the 3350 level. The market is at an all-time high, and it shows no signs of giving back these gains. I would love to see some type of pullback in order to pick up a bit of value, and that’s how pullback should be looked at. The 50 day EMA is walking right along with the uptrend line, so that is at least two reasons to think that this market will find buyers underneath. Furthermore, unless something fundamentally changes is difficult to imagine that the stock market falls apart.

Think about the following: coronavirus, trade wars, global demand slowing down, and a rising US dollar. Those are all things that had I told you were going to be part of the economic outlook at one time, you would be willing to bet against the stock market. Having said that, here we are. That being the case it’s very likely that we are simply trading on one thing and one thing only: that would be the Federal Reserve keeping monetary policy loose. If that’s going to be the case, stocks are going to continue to rise because that’s the only thing Wall Street truly cares about over the longer term.

That being said, I would love to see a pullback towards the 3300 level, or again, that trendline. Either way, I look at pullbacks as value propositions and they have in fact been for several years. Selling is all but impossible at this point.
