S&P 500 (SPX) Up or Down on June 26?

Platform comparison

Market context

The S&P 500 dipped 0.01% on Thursday, falling to a two-week low as weakness in the Magnificent Seven, led by a 6% plunge in Apple, dragged on the broader market[1]. Apple raised prices across its Mac, iPad, and Vision Pro lines to offset costs driven by memory chip shortages, while software stocks also weakened, creating a mixed settlement that saw the Dow post a new all-time high[1]. This recent volatility frames the current 68% crowd-implied probability for an "Up" close on June 26, suggesting traders are betting on a rebound after the sharp pullback.

Historically, markets that fall to a two-week low following a tech-led sell-off often rebound the next day, particularly when the broader index remains near record highs[1]. The S&P 500 has previously shown resilience after similar dips, with the index often closing higher the following trading session when the decline is driven by specific company news rather than systemic fear[1]. This pattern supports the bullish sentiment, as the current drop appears isolated to Apple and software rather than a wider market correction.

Traders should monitor the semiconductor sector for signs of recovery, as chipmaker strength previously offset tech weakness and could drive the next gain[1]. The upcoming announcements on memory chip supply and storage costs will be critical, as these factors directly influenced Apple's price hike and could impact the broader tech sector[1]. Additionally, retail investor sentiment, currently 58% bearish, may shift if the market rebounds, potentially fueling further upward momentum[3]. Watch for any updates on chip shortages, as these remain a key dependency for the tech sector's performance[1].
