As the trading week winds down to April 17, the S&P 500 Index<\/a> looks poised for moderate gains, with a real shot at notching new record highs. The actual stage was set yesterday, when SPX did something historic\u2014it pierced the $7,000 ceiling for the very first time, finally closing at $7,023.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The market is now making a big bet on successful peace talks between the United States and Iran, which are likely to take place in Pakistan. Any tangible de-escalation agreement regarding the Strait of Hormuz would send the index into overdrive. But be warned: a breakdown in negotiations with Tehran could spark a rush for the exits, triggering a sharp pullback to $6,800.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Strong results from major banks have already thrown fuel on the SPX rally. Earnings season for the first quarter (Q1) of 2026 is off to a flying start, with tech providing a rock-solid floor and financials running hot on its heels\u2014leaving investors eager for the next wave of upbeat news.<\/p>\n

Here’s what a few banking heavyweights have delivered so far:<\/p>\n

Morgan Stanley (MS).<\/strong> Earnings surged 29% to $5.57 billion ($3.43 per share), fueled by record-breaking performance in equities trading (+25%) and asset management. The revenue came in at $20.58 billion.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Bank of America (BAC). <\/strong>Net income climbed 25%, with EPS landing at $1.11\u2014well above the $1.01 forecast. Every single business segment posted growth.<\/p>\n

All eyes are now on the tech sector, which market players expect to remain the index’s primary driver. Projections call for tech earnings to jump between 23.7% and 45.0% year-over-year. Strip away the sector, and the S&P 500’s overall profit growth would shrivel from a healthy 11%\u201313% down to just 5%.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The market is also obsessed with the artificial intelligence (AI) supercycle. The trillion-dollar question: will all that massive capital spending finally turn into real revenue? Only time will tell.<\/p>\n

A well-worn technical rule says that when the S&P 500 index breaks into new all-time high territory, it often comes back to test the level it just broke. In this case, such a magnetic target would be $7,000.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The ultimate recommendation<\/strong> is to sell SPX. Place Take Profit at $7,000. Set Stop Loss at $7,050.<\/p>\n

Calculate your open position so that a potential loss (protected by a Stop Loss order) is limited to 1% of your deposit. If your account balance does not allow entering a position of this size, it is better to skip the trade and wait for other market signals that meet low-risk criteria.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
