Investor Note: Watch S&P 500 Futures and a Potential Bounce Between $5,800–$5,815
For longer-term traders and investors, $5,800 to $5,815 is a key area to monitor. This zone may trigger a moderate to strong bounce, especially after several days of retracement. It may not signal an immediate trend reversal, but it’s worth watching for a potential base-building process.
