Free Weekly Stock Market Commentary 12/19/2025

By Lawrence G. McMillan

$SPX couldn't break out on the upside, so then it decided to test the downside, breaking down below support at 6800 for two days. But that move had no follow-through either. Thus, $SPX remains in a trading range, and the frustration with this market continues to grow.

The indicators lean slightly to the bullish side, but the real arbiter of price is, of course, $SPX and that remains in a neutral state.

The market has stalled near the top of the 6500-6900 trading range. This comes after a strong rally the week of Thanksgiving. But unless there is a clear breakout to new all-time highs, the trading range scenario is still dominant. Part of the problem may be the upcoming FOMC meeting, where we will learn on December 10th whether or not the Fed is going to lower rates again. It seems that the market is expecting that the rate cut will occur. If it doesn't, that could be problematic.

The stock market sold off fairy heavily into the 6500-6550 support zone for $SPX on November 14, but then it rallied strongly off of that support area. That support has been tested several times and continues to get an A+ on the test. But overhead, there is a myriad of resistance, so for now $SPX remains in a trading range.
