The index is now testing the key near-term support in the range of 4180-4200. A break of this zone would mark a major bearish development that could take the S&P 500 below 4000 in the coming months.

The S&P 500 is currently experiencing a blended YoY earnings decline of -0.4%.
RBC’s analysts: “October can be a tough month for stocks, but more often than not tends to see the S&P 500 rise. Unfortunately, as of mid October of 2023, US equities are still in a spooky place.”
