US500 breaks linear downtrends. US100 defends an important support 📌

12:17 pm 17 August 2023

The Fed's minutes have been interpreted as another hint towards a rate hike, although there seems to be significant disagreement among bankers. Nonetheless, since yesterday, we've been witnessing increased selling in American contracts, although today, as time passes, there is a desire to recover losses. However, this might change after the start of the Wall Street session at 3:30 PM.

The US500 index has broken the upward trendline and is currently below the 23.6% retracement of the last upward impulse that began in March. At the same time, it's noticeable that within the current corrective decline in the upward trend, there is a sustained downward sequence within a descending trend channel. Today's revival is occurring as we approach the lows from July. Bullish problems could arise around the 23.6% retracement, potentially leading to a continuation of the downward trend towards the vicinity of 4375 points. The scope of the entire major correction in the long-term trend suggests a possible descent even to around 4200 points.

The US100 index has long surpassed the downward trendline and is currently below the 15,000 point level. Only after rising above 15,080 points could we consider a larger revival attempt. Nevertheless, the US100 is defending the range of the largest correction in the trend, where there is also the 23.6% retracement of the entire upward trend that began in autumn 2022.
