Free Weekly Stock Market Commentary 7/3/2025

The stock market, has continued to rise, registering new all-time highs repeatedly. It appears that the current breakout to new all-time highs is stronger than the failed one of last February. There is support at 6150 (the old highs), 6020 (the highest circled gap on the accompanying $SPX chart in Figure 1), and 5920. A pullback below 5920 would negate the current upside breakout, but I don't expect that to happen.

Stocks are making new all-time highs this morning, as this is being written. This includes $SPX and $NDX, but not $RUT (Russell 2000) and $DJX (The Dow). The $SPX chart remains very positive, and now we need to see if this breakout can be sustained, or if it will turn into another miserable failure, similar to what happened this past February. The internal indicators are improving, though, and this may help propel the market to substantially higher prices this time around.

Stocks sold off on the Israel-Iran conflict, but only modestly as it appeared that traders were most worried about the U.S. directly entering the conflict which hasn't happened. Moreover, there has not been any particular disruption in the flow of oil.

The broad market continues to inch higher, and has so far remained above the previous downtrend line that connected the February and May highs. The only overhead resistance is the all-time highs at 6150. There are several support levels below, from 5940 down to 5700. Several of them are denoted with horizontal blue lines on the $SPX chart in Figure 1.

The downtrend line connecting the February and May highs was a major impediment on the upside, and now $SPX has overcome that. For the previous three days, $SPX has traded above that downtrend line, probing up towards 6000. But each day's close has seen the Index slip back. Today, a strong reaction to the Unemployment Report, has seen $SPX trade up to new relative highs. If it can hold this level today, above 6000, new highs should be the next stop.
