About two weeks ago, we noted that the market was nearing 2022 lows, which led us to speculate about the short-term bounce. We reasoned that people would start predicting the double bottom formation and potential trend reversal. However, we stated that this bullish move-up would prove to be short-lived over time.
Since our post, SPX hit a new low and then bounced more than 6%. At the moment, the index trades near the 3 780 USD price tag, which coincides with the 20-day SMA. In our opinion, this retracement toward the SMA represents the correction of the downtrend, just like on previous occasions. If the price breaks above the SMA, then it can bolster the bullish case in the short term. However, a failure of the price to break above the level and hold there will suggest otherwise.
As for the medium and long term. We stay bearish and committed to our price target of 3500 USD. Our views are based on a combination of technical and fundamental factors described in this and previous articles.

The price action after the employment data further confirms our bearish thesis. We stick to our price target of 3500 USD. However, we believe that the market will continue lower than that. Despite that, we will wait and update our thoughts as the trend unravels.
