Earnings-driven optimism as sector surprises buoy sentiment

Robust Q3 earnings from several major S&P 500 companies have driven a positive sentiment, with notable results from Expedia, Akamai, Solvay, Take-Two Interactive, XYZ, and The Trade Desk. SPX Technologies' strong Q3 earnings offered a supportive tailwind as the Q3 2025 earnings season wrapped up on November 7, 2025. These updates highlight sector-level surprises and the underlying resilience within the index.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, notes that S&P 500 remains deeply entrenched below key moving averages, reflecting entrenched bearish momentum. He highlights that, despite upbeat Q3 earnings from index components, sentiment and technicals both fail to shift from a defensive stance. Momentum indicators paint a clear picture of prevailing weakness, with both MACD and ADX signaling that selling pressure dominates. Even today’s intraday recovery is overshadowed by weak structural signals and lack of conviction for a sustained rebound. "This setup, with poor trend strength and persistent selling, leaves the upside highly improbable without a significant catalyst," Kharitonov warns.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, sees the recent strong Q3 earnings as evidence of underlying resilience in the S&P 500. He believes that constructive sector-level surprises and a robust earnings season suggest that sentiment could turn more positive if resistance is broken. The analyst stresses that, despite near-term technical weakness, the bullish structure remains intact if key levels are reclaimed. He remains confident that opportunities for further growth will emerge as the market responds to these earnings surprises. "The market offers setups for patient buyers, and further upside will follow once the $0.9595 threshold is breached," Karapetjanc asserts.

Dominant bearish momentum despite intraday range strength

The current SPX price of $0.7249 is trading well below the MA-20 ($0.8897), MA-50 ($1.0677), and MA-200 ($1.2074), reinforcing sustained downward pressure across short-, medium-, and long-term trends. The nearest dynamic resistance is the Ichimoku Kijun at $0.9595, while support can be inferred near the daily low at $0.635. Momentum readings show a weak backdrop, with the D1 MACD forecasting "Sell" and ADX indicating a low-trend strength. Both RSI (36.31) and CCI (-109.95) suggest slight oversold conditions, while the Stoch RSI remains neutral, highlighting some divergence in oscillator signals. BBP on D1 leans in favor of sellers, underlining intraday dominance by bears despite today’s strong rebound, with a visible opening gap higher and a price sitting near today’s high of the $0.635–$0.7187 range. Intraday volatility has been high, and the session shows clear strength toward highs, but this contradicts the dominating longer-term weakness from momentum indicators.

Previously it was noted that the S&P 500 maintained a bullish structure, with price holding above all key moving averages. The article highlighted that, according to the baseline scenario anticipates continued consolidation above key support levels.
