The following week have major data release including,

240730 Tue CB Consumer Confidence ****
240731 Wed Fed Interest Rate Decision *****
240801 Thu Initial Jobless Claims ****

Consumer Confidence is the major leading indicator alongside Michigan Consumer index. Investors should follow the rise of two indexes to lead increase in economic data like inflation, GDP, labor market conditions, as well as economic conditions.

Fed rate is expected to remain unchanged, while market discounting the first cut in the cycle to come in September.

Labor market show resilience all the way that give space to maintain higher rates in this cycle for longer. Even the first rate cute is forecasted for September, I would still expect the higher rates to stay here for longer period due to resilient labor market, as shown by labor market indicators.

There are no signs for S&P to weaken this time, rather shuttle up and down at high levels. Note that last adjustment in S&P followed the deviation of 12% from major trend line 200SMA. Attentive investors could observe it previously.

When the market finally digest selling orders, S&P should resume the rising trend.
