SPY Stock Price Analysis

SPY stock noted 4 consecutive days of inflows totaling nearly $15 billion for the week ending on March 20 and made the week best since June 2022. As on March 15, “$7.2 billion was pumped into SPY, which was the largest daily inflows since Nov. 9, 2020, when the COVID-19 vaccine was revealed.”

SPY stock showed a bullish outlook while it crossed its 100-days EMA. SPY stock seems like testing a multi-resistance region, including the 200-day EMA and the 50% Fibonacci level of the February-March bearish range. The RSI of SPY stock is at 51, for the first time since March 6.

FOMC Meeting Importance

As the FOMC meeting is scheduled on March 22, that will be a critical event for SPY’s near future. However, the markets almost completely discounted a 25 bps hike, still Fed’s plans to do beyond March will be all-important to monitor.

While SPY stock is attempting to find support around $392, the Fed pushes back against market pricing, which anticipates a terminal rate of 4.9% in May and two rate cuts before the end of the year, and reiterates its commitment to slow inflation.

Moreover, in case the Fed reinforces the need for liquidity in the financial system and temporarily halts efforts to battle inflation, it would probably boost investor confidence in stocks, and push SPY stock to hit March highs of $407.
