The SPX closed strong into the June options expiration and up +2.6% for the week as somewhat of a blowoff move took place into the and above the 4400 level that has not been seen since April 2022. The market finds itself extended now into a lull of earnings and macro data as quarter end nears in just 10 days and the risk/reward at these levels likely favors a pullback to the rising 8-week EMA closer to 4250. Weekly MACD and RSI are strong in bull mode, so dips are likely to get bought but RSI being at 68 on the weekly timeframe and 73 on the daily signal’s overbought conditions. Friday’s candle opened at the highs and sold off through the day closing on its lows so price action started to show some exhaustion into OPEX Friday as well. A first support to look for on the downside would be the 4355 level at the 8 EMA and then the 21 EMA being at 4280 currently. A shallow market dip this week may find dip buyers into quarter end.
