Technical analysis of the S&P 500 initially indicated a sustained bullish trend, with prices remaining above the 20-day, 50-day, and 200-day exponential moving averages. While long-term projections suggested a potential move toward a resistance zone between 9,050 and 9,550, immediate momentum showed signs of deceleration.

Subsequent analysis highlighted shifts in market participation and breadth. The RSP/SPY ratio, comparing the equal-weight S&P 500 to the market-cap-weighted index, recovered toward 0.287, suggesting that equal-weight stocks were beginning to gain leadership over the largest market-cap companies.
