Reaction to Big News

The U.S. attack on the Iranian nuclear facility was HUGE news.  Presumably the escalation of violence in the middle east could trigger a large global stock decline.  It did not.  The S&P 500 (SPX) opened the 06/23/25 session above the 06/20/25 session close, then rallied for 50 – minutes.  During the subsequent decline SPX went marginally below its 06/20/25 bottom. Then the bulls began a strong rally.

The 30 – minute SPX courtesy of Trading View illustrates the action.

SPX has broken above a declining wedge.

The 30 – minute RSI had significant bullish divergences. 

The SPX 06/11/25 to 06/23/25 move appears to be a complex Elliott wave – Zigzag correction.

The daily SPX chart courtesy of BigCharts.com examines daily momentum.

BigCharts.com Slow Stochastic is very effective at signaling turns.  Daily Slow Stochastic has a bullish line cross.  Please note that only one of the lines reached the oversold zone which begins at 20.00. 

There’s a good chance for an SPX multi-day rally that could exceed the all-time high made on 02/19/25.
