S&P 500 futures (US500), as well as other Wall Street indices, are pulling back today. Taking a look at US500 at D1 interval, we can see that the index tested resistance zone, marked with 61.8% retracement of the downward move launched in early-2022, but bulls failed to break above. Price pulled back later on and, as a result, a shooting star candlestick pattern was painted on D1 interval. This is a bearish pattern and should we see index continue to slide, bears may attempt to push it down to the support zone marked with 50% retracement, where the lower limit of a local market geometry can also be found.
