Bearish Below: $5,860

Bullish Above: $5,865

Bias: Bearish at current level

The S&P 500 futures are trading in bearish territory today, just under the $5,860 key threshold. According to the Trade Compass methodology, we maintain a bearish outlook while price remains below this level, with a potential shift to bullish bias only if price sustains above $5,865.

S&P 500 Futures Today – Bearish Scenario & Partial Profit Targets

Trade Compass emphasizes partial profit-taking to manage risk and lock in gains incrementally. Whether you’re trading 1 E-mini contract, 10 micro contracts, or using CFDs, you can apply this approach.

Bearish Profit Targets:

1. $5,855 – Near current price. Conservative first target.

2. $5,850 – Semi-round number. May act as short-term support.

3. $5,837 – Just above May 12th VWAP.

4. $5,827 – Just above the May 12th Value Area Low.

5. $5,810 – Close to a major low on May 12 and just above the $5,800 psychological round number.

Stop Management Tip: After reaching the second target ($5,850), consider adjusting stops to breakeven or better on the remainder of your position.

S&P 500 Futures Today – Bullish Scenario if Price Reverses

Despite the bearish context, the Trade Compass remains open to reversals. Should price break and hold above $5,865, here are the bullish targets:

1. $5,882 – Just below the May 21st Value Area High.

2. $5,904 – Also aligned with a key May 21st level.

3. $5,947 – Longer-term runner target, just under May 21st Point of Control (POC).

This setup offers bulls a high-probability progression if key levels are reclaimed with strength.

Investor Note: Watch S&P 500 Futures and a Potential Bounce Between $5,800–$5,815

For longer-term traders and investors, $5,800 to $5,815 is a key area to monitor. This zone may trigger a moderate to strong bounce, especially after several days of retracement. It may not signal an immediate trend reversal, but it’s worth watching for a potential base-building process.
