Traders eye profit-taking near 7,800 as momentum indicators suggest short-term exhaustion in the bullish trend.
S&P 500 E-mini futures approached the 7,800 level, nearing the upper boundary of a rising 4-hour channel. The relative strength index (RSI) exceeded 80, indicating overbought conditions but not an immediate sell signal.
The 7,800-7,805 zone is seen as a critical test, with traders assessing whether prices can sustain above this range or retreat into the channel. The broader trend remains bullish, though signs of short-term fatigue are emerging.
Market participants are monitoring for potential profit-taking rather than aggressive new positions at current levels.
