The next major resistance is seen at the top of our typical extreme zone at 3541, as the Credit Suisse analyst team notes.

Key quotes

“S&P 500 moved sharply higher again on Wednesday, breaking clearly above our next key objective at the Fibonacci projection level at 3432/36 and the top of the potential trend channel resistance at 3444/46. This suggests the market has entered a more accelerated phase, with daily RSI momentum now above its June peak, reinforcing the break higher.” 

“Next resistance is seen at the top of the weekly BollingerBand at 3500/03, then the top of our typical extreme zone (i.e. 15% above the 200-day average) at 3540/41, which is expected to prove a tougher barrier.” 

“Support moves higher to 3466 initially, below which would complete a very small intraday top, however only a break below the uptrend from late and the 13-day exponential average at 3402/3394 would remove the upside bias.”
