The strength indicator, RSI, is still showing negative sentiment, and a close back below the 40 threshold will further confirm this.
Key strong support is around 4,953. A daily close below this level is likely to lead to a sell-off down to the 4,845-4,800 area.
For S&P 500 to establish a bullish trend, a daily close above 5,146 is required.

To demolish this bearish scenario, a close above 17,808 is a minimum requirement. To establish a bullish trend, a close back above the Cloud (shaded area) is needed.
