S&P 500 (SPY) Report – 12/16/22

Good morning traders!

The S&P 500 ($SPY) is trading below yesterday’s close. Let’s get into it…

The much-anticipated Santa Rally in December has turned into a lump of coal. Since November 30th, the S&P 500 has fallen by more than 4%, and the end of the year is not looking promising. Powell delivered the opposite of good cheer at the year’s final rate decision, with estimates predicting interest rates rising considerably and remaining there next year. This overshadowed the slower rate of increase in interest rates in the future.

In the news, Christine Lagarde, President of the European Central Bank, was surprisingly hawkish this week, suggesting that the upcoming economic slowdown will be shallow and that the ECB has no intentions to shift course anytime soon. Even while the Fed and the ECB were relatively optimistic about the impact of rate rises on the economy, traders seemed to interpret the message in only one way: sell stocks.

9D EMA (4hr): $389.50
Market Close: $387.84

Potential Intraday Support Levels:
Pre-Market Low: $382.50
