Can SPX extend its breakout?

According to AMBCrypto, SPX6900 rallied as retail buyers stepped into the Spot market and traders rushed into Futures for strategic positioning.

As a result, Sequential Pattern Strength (SPS) rose to 30, confirming buyer control, while the Stochastic Momentum Index (SMI) printed 18 after a bullish crossover—both metrics point to sustained upward momentum.

If buying persists, $1.30 is the next key resistance. However, continued whale profit-taking could trigger a retracement toward $1.06.
