1. The predicted closing price of SPX today is approximately 6915 points.
The latest news shows that the market slightly declined amid low trading volume, with the S&P 500 falling by about 0.4% in early trading today.
A combination of multiple technical analysis data (slight declines over several recent days) indicates short-term pullback/consolidation pressure. Therefore, the closing price will face some pressure but is unlikely to break through key support levels significantly; I estimate a slight decline or continued weakness at the close.
Of course, due to pre-holiday trading and low trading volumes, the margin of error for such short-term forecasts will be much larger than usual.
2. Reasons
Today's market performance was not driven by FOMO (fear of missing out), but rather resembles pre-holiday liquidity dry-ups and seasonal adjustments. During the year-end holiday trading period, both institutional and retail investors typically reduce positions or lock in profits in advance, leading to generally lower trading volumes. A low-volume environment itself amplifies any buying or selling pressure, making price fluctuations more reflective of a 'low liquidity effect' rather than genuine trend drivers.
Technical indicators often become distorted during holidays due to insufficient trading volumes, which fail to confirm trend directions. Therefore, today’s slight decline is more likely to reflect 'year-end profit-taking + rising risk aversion,' rather than a typical FOMO-driven bull market peak.
At the same time, there are divergent expectations regarding future macroeconomic conditions and corporate earnings: some bullish views believe that AI and earnings growth can support further upward movement in the market, while others warn of high valuations and volatility risks.
This also illustrates that holiday price movements do not fully reflect broader market sentiment but are more like temporary 'liquidity effects' combined with directionally unclear position adjustments.
3. Bullish or Bearish:
Short to medium term (next few weeks): Slightly cautious / Neutral leaning bearish
Valuations remain high, signs of profit-taking in technology stocks, and low trading volume; short-term adjustments may continue.
Medium to long term (until 2026): Maintain positions (moderately bullish).
Several Wall Street institutions have set upside targets for 2026 (e.g., 7,700 ~ 8,000).
The main drivers of the bull market are projected earnings growth, a low-interest-rate environment, and AI-driven capital expenditure.
My position: I will not fully exit the market into cash. However, I will make tiered adjustments to my portfolio:
Partially reduce exposure to highly valued tech-heavy positions (higher risk).
Increase value stocks & diversify allocations (to reduce risk exposure).
Hold core index ETFs / large-cap blue chips as long-term core positions.
