The Highlight of this week.
The upcoming inflation report with Wednesday's Retail Sales will be able to give us a better insight of where the Fed is heading towards with is potential rate hikes, which will then put an end to the market divagation by providing a clear guidance (Bull or Bear).
However, with the current inverse relationship between Fed policy and the Gov't spending, it is quite likely for the Fed to stay neutral for the rest of the year as Gov't is now planning to take a major control over its domestic market. Until the 3rd quarter of 2023, the Gov't increased fiscal spending (ESG campaigns, etc..) allowed large cap companies' to take advantage and revive their market performance from the potential downtrend. In contrast, as we all might know, the Fed has been cutting its balance budget significantly compared YOY basis.
Core inflation Rate MoM Estimate: 0.3% (0.3% previous)
Core Inflation Rate YoY Estimate: 4.0% (4.1% previous)
Retail Sales MoMn Estimate: 0.0% (0.7% previous)

We are on the verge of the huge drive, up or down.
Significant resiliences were spotted during today's trading.
High: 4421.94
Low: 4392.5
My forecast is based on an assumption that tomorrow's inflation rate consensus ends up being higher than expected value. With the Fed insisting to get the PCE down to 2% range, the fear of potential rate hike will hit the market quite severely, potential downside rally of about -1.7%(-7491 bp). If it fails to secure 4341 price range as the retail sales reveals to be a lower than the projected forecasts, regardless of Fed's reaction to, the market will face a significant downturn as Key retail firm's Santa rally becomes more likely not to happen at all.

Trade closed: target reached:
Went above and beyond the projected 4518 level as the CPI data results in lower than the market expectation.
Expected: 4.1
Actual: 4.0
It shot straight up to 4472, once tried to go beyond 4500 level, a short retrieve after.
4485-4490 expect to rebounce and give another shot for 4500.

More than a 3rd of the volume went in within the very beginning two hours of the day.
The previous peak is $4596.74(July 31st) with 2.442M total volume $SPXV. Currently, the latest data indicates we are at a volume of 2.824M.
Along with today's strong CPI data, strong chart, yet remaining support from volume, we should see another week-month-long bull market.
Frankly, the depressing report of Japan's GDP will also add some comparative Dollar advantage.
