The S&P 500 has formed a bearish ‘doji’ pattern, indicating a potential reversal in the market. Doji patterns, which reflect investor psychology, are seen as a point of indecision before a major move. The formation of two dojis in succession increases the likelihood of a strong jolt in either direction. Investors are optimistic about the Federal Reserve’s rate cuts, betting on a soft landing for the economy. The battle between bulls and bears for control of the market continues.
