U.S. stock markets have been on quite a run lately, but are we finally seeing signs of a rally correction on the S&P 500 index? Optimism for business-friendly policies under another Trump administration have allowed U.S. equity indices to surge, pushing the S&P 500 index past the ceiling around $5,900 onto fresh record highs past the $6,000 barrier. This psychological mark appears to be holding as strong resistance, however, paving the way for profit-taking to spur a correction to nearby support zones. Are stock market bulls about to hop back in soon? The Fibonacci retracement tool shows that the former resistance area is spanned by the 50% to 61.8% levels and a rising trend line that’s been holding since mid-October, as well as the dynamic support at the moving averages. A shallow pullback could even find buyers at the 38.2% Fib that lines up with the pivot point level ($5,904.23), potentially taking the index back up to the swing high and beyond. The 100 SMA is still above the 200 SMA to suggest that the uptrend is more likely to resume than to reverse, but keep an eye out for a move below S1 ($5,793.32) and the trend line that could mark the start of a downtrend.
