SPX price action with RSI bearish divergence marked on weekly timeframe, indicating possible downside risk.

Chart Summary:

  • Price Trend: SPX made a fresh high near 6147.43 recently after a sharp bounce from sub-5200 levels.
  • RSI (14) Weekly: Currently at 52.48 with a visible long-term bearish divergence.

Key Observations:

  1. Bearish Divergence: Price made higher highs between late-2023 to early-2025, while RSI consistently made lower highs — as seen by the descending RSI trendline. This type of multi-month divergence typically precedes sharp corrections or trend reversals.
  2. Recent Bounce: The market bounced from around 5200–5300 to over 6100, but RSI failed to break its descending trendline. RSI now at 52.48 is approaching a critical zone where it may either break out or face rejection.

Key Levels for This Week:

ZonePrice Range (SPX)Significance
Immediate Resistance6100–6150Recent top, near-term cap
First Support5750–5800Minor swing support
Major Breakdown Level5625–5700Weekly structure support
Downside Targets5350–5400If RSI rejection occurs
Major Long-Term Support4900–5000Test of multi-year trendline

Trade Conclusion for This Week:

  • Bias: Cautious to Bearish if RSI fails to cross its descending trendline (~55–58).
  • Sell on Rise Zone: 6100–6150
  • Targets: 5800 initially, then 5700
  • Stoploss: Weekly close above 6200
  • Confirmation Trigger: If RSI reverses near 54–55 and price fails at 6100–6150, expect a test of 5750–5700 within the week.

RSI Insight:

If RSI fails to break its long-term downtrend this week and rolls over, it will signal a likely decline towards 5350–5400 in the coming weeks. Only a sustained RSI breakout above 58 would negate this bearish divergence signal.

Summary:

  • Sell near 6100–6150 if RSI approaches and fails at 54–55.
  • Stoploss: above 6200
  • Book profits: around 5800, extend to 5700 if weakness follows.
  • Watch RSI behavior: The divergence is long-term and highly significant.
