Cboe Global Markets reports that SPX Box Spreads reached $929 million in average daily notional volume in 2024.
The company has released a white paper focused on the mechanics, applications, and market microstructure of European-style Box Spreads on the S&P 500. Additional information is available through the company's provided link.
CBOE is trading at $298.22, which places it below the MA-20 ($331.21) and MA-50 ($317.17), but well above the long-term MA-200 ($273.11). This positioning indicates continued short- and medium-term seller pressure, while the long-term structure remains supported. The Ichimoku Kijun on D1 stands at $320.57, clearly acting as immediate resistance. Near-term support is set at the MA-200 ($273.11), followed by key support at the MA-100 ($299.51). Immediate resistance is the Kijun ($320.57), with key resistance at the MA-20 ($331.21).
Momentum signals remain weak, with both MACD (D1 at –18.58) and ADX (D1 at 31.21) indicating a bearish tilt and subdued trend strength. RSI (36.88), CCI (–97.12), and BBP (–15.30) all suggest a market that is approaching or exhibiting oversold conditions, while Stoch RSI (25.75) reads as neutral and AO does not confirm the current bias. The conflicting nature of these signals is notable, as oscillators point to exhaustion but momentum suggests further downside risk. CBOE has risen $16.31 (5.77%) over the past week, trading up from $281.91 and now positioned at the very top of the weekly range, with volatility standing at 6.40%. The weekly tone reflects a strong rebound off earlier lows and an assertive push toward resistance. In today's session, CBOE is up 2.62%, testing the upper boundary of its recent trading corridor.
Looking ahead, the expected price range for the coming week is $292 to $307, centering around the current elevated levels but below the yearly highs and well above the 52-week low. With only one bullish signal among MA-50, RSI-W1, ADX-W1, and MACD-W1, the probability of a price increase is very low (less than 20%), while the likelihood of a decline is more pronounced. The baseline scenario sees CBOE consolidating between near-term support and resistance as momentum resets. A bullish outcome would require a clear break above $320.57 (Ichimoku Kijun), opening the way for a move to $331–$332. The bearish scenario may develop if the price falls below support at $299 and especially $273, risking a return to lower weekly ranges. Relative to the 52-week span, CBOE remains in the upper third, signaling resilience but facing short-term corrective risk.
Earlier, analysts noted that Cboe Global Markets was experiencing persistent downside pressure but expected consolidation as bullish and bearish forces balanced out. In light of current market dynamics, traders should monitor for a decisive breakout above resistance or a renewed slide below long-term support as potential signals for the next directional move.
