SPY is coiling in a tight Bollinger Band squeeze (2.37% bandwidth) at the Volume Profile Point of Control ($689), signaling potential for an explosive breakout. The consolidation above the Value Area Low ($686) allows RSI to reset to neutral (50), providing fuel for a push through the converging moving averages at $692 to retest the 52-week high at $698.
SPY is showing immediate technical weakness, trading below the key intraday resistance cluster of the 20 and 50-period SMAs at $692.53. Furthermore, price has slipped below the volume Point of Control (POC) at $689.86, turning the highest volume zone into overhead resistance. This technical breakdown coincides with renewed trade tensions between the U.S. and China and uncertainty regarding Federal Reserve leadership, creating a 'risk-off' macro backdrop that favors downside pressure toward the lower Bollinger Band.
