As of January 7, 2025, the S&P 500 index is facing notable market weakness, with only 52% of its components trading above their 200-day moving average, the lowest proportion in nearly 14 months. Additionally, just 25% of S&P 500 stocks are above their 50-day moving average, indicating a concerning market trend that mirrors the lows observed in November 2023. Analysts have expressed uncertainty about the market's direction, with some suggesting that a close below 5,918 could signal further declines. The S&P 500 currently remains approximately 6% above its 200-day moving average, but the overall sentiment points to a potential technical disadvantage for buyers as the market enters 2025.
