US500: Riding the Bearish Wave – Short Setup as Resistance Holds Firm

Market Context and Technical Read

Alright folks, Victoria Jackson here, checking in on the US500. The data is compelling right now, pointing towards a continuation of the current bearish trend, and you know what I always say: the trend is your friend. We're seeing the US500 currently trading around 6027.24, having dropped -0.38% (-22.76 points) over the last 24 hours. This confirms the downward momentum we've been tracking. The day range has been between 5993.09 and 6061.38, indicating that sellers are defending the upper bounds quite aggressively.
From a technical perspective, my analysis suggests a retest of some key resistance levels before a further move down. I'm looking for an entry around 6038. This level sits strategically below the recent day high of 6061.38 and well beneath the more significant resistance at 6100.

The immediate support levels at 5993.09 and 6000 are key areas to watch as the bears push through.
