S&P 500

Key insight

7,600 round number acting as pivot — Nasdaq's -1.8% divergence and oil at $100 signal a rotation shock, not a broad sell-off. Bull case needs a close above 7,650 to regain momentum.

7,601 holds above the 200-day MA near 7,480 but Nasdaq drops 1.8% and oil surges 3.0%, squeezing margins — cross-asset stress argues for caution at current levels.

Oil spike to $100 + Nasdaq breakdown
