S&P 500 Price Forecast: Technical outlook

The S&P 500 daily chart shows the index has a strong upward bias, approaching the top of an ascending channel that has capped any upside moves, keeping a steady trend in the index. The daily moving averages (DMA’s) are located below the price action, with a rising slope, confirming the uptrend.

However, the Relative Strength Index (RSI), a momentum indicator, is at 71 in overbought levels, indicating the S&P 500 could be headed towards a correction. 
In the case of that outcome, the first support level would be 4,550. However, if the index corrects 5%, as the dip from mid-September to mid-October of 2021, the 4,400 area would be the next support.
