This rally was underpinned by strong performances in the semiconductor sector, with stocks like Nvidia rising 4%, Taiwan Semiconductor gaining 4.1%, and AMD adding 1%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vtmarkets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/20240925-174842-1024x458.jpg\" alt=\"\nThe SP500 chart on vtmarkets.com closed at 5732.85, with momentum continuing to build as traders focus on technology stocks.

The MACD histogram is showing bullish signals, with the MACD line crossing above the signal line, confirming ongoing strength in buying pressure.\" class=\"wp-image-15123\" style=\"width:1450px;height:auto\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Picture: S&amp;P 500 hit new record highs by tech stock momentum, as observed on the<a href=\"https:\/\/vtmarketsapp.onelink.me\/CD7D\/240525WA\"> VT Markets app<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We look at the charts for a clearer picture. The SP500 closed at 5732.85, remaining in a solid uptrend, particularly supported by strength in tech stocks. These companies, increasingly viewed as critical to future economic growth due to the rising demand for AI and advanced computing solutions, have been key drivers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The price has been supported by the 24-period EMA, which has acted as a reliable dynamic support level over the past sessions. The MACD histogram is showing bullish signals, with the MACD line crossing above the signal line, confirming ongoing strength in buying pressure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We are currently testing the resistance zone around 5744. A breakout beyond this level could indicate further upward potential towards the 5800 mark. However, any pullback to the 5700 range could attract dip buyers, potentially keeping the bullish sentiment intact. If selling pressure increases, support may come in at the 5600 mark, which aligns with previous lows and the 72-period EMA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Optimism beyond the Tech Sector<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Expectations for further interest rate cuts from the Federal Reserve have buoyed sentiment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The consumer confidence index recently fell to its lowest in over three years, intensifying speculation that the Fed might take a more dovish stance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Related content: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vtmarkets.com\/blog\/education\/interest-rate-tug-of-war-for-central-banks-hawkish-vs-dovish\/\">Interest rate tug of war for central banks<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Historically, when the Fed cuts rates in response to slower economic growth, equity markets\u2014especially growth sectors\u2014tend to benefit from lower borrowing costs and an influx of liquidity. For example, during the Fed\u2019s easing cycle in 2019, the S&amp;P 500 rose over 29%, with tech stocks leading the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\u26a0\ufe0fBREAKING:<br><br>*DOW, S&amp;P 500 CLOSE AT FRESH RECORD HIGHS, VIX TUMBLES AS WALL STREET BUILDS ON SEPTEMBER RALLY<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/search?q=%24SPY&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">$SPY<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/search?q=%24QQQ&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">$QQQ<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/search?q=%24VIX&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">$VIX<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/J8FDh5JLEu\">pic.twitter.com\/J8FDh5JLEu<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Investing.com (@Investingcom) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Investingcom\/status\/1838670508692213896?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 24, 2024<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.x.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Risks and Opportunity in the Market<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Traders are increasingly positioning themselves for potential rate cuts, likely adding more fuel to the current rally. It is worth noting that with inflation appearing to cool and economic data softening, the likelihood of the Fed trimming rates is growing. This could push the S&amp;P 500 even higher, although risk management remains important due to potential volatility, especially with the upcoming PCE inflation report on Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Looking ahead, earnings season will also play a critical role in determining whether this rally is sustainable. During past earnings seasons, particularly in early 2021, the S&amp;P 500 saw significant upward moves when earnings exceed expectations, and it is likely that we will see a similar pattern this quarter if companies manage to outperform once again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the short term, traders should closely watch key data points like jobless claims and housing market performance for further clues on the economic health and how it may impact the Fed\u2019s decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vtmarkets.com\/trade-now\/\">Create your live VT Markets account<\/a><\/strong><strong> and<\/strong><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/myaccount.vtmarkets.com\/login\"> start trading<\/a><\/strong><strong> now.<\/strong><\/p>\n\r\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>Start trading now \u2014 click <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vtmarkets.com\/en-ca\/trade-now\/\">here<\/a> to create your real VT Markets account.<\/b>\n\n<\/p>\n\n<!-- vt-src:15122 -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The S&amp;P 500 hit new record highs as semiconductor stocks rallied and traders increased bets on further interest rate cuts.
