S&P500 FALCON TRADE weekly chart October 17, 2025 (Friday)
S&P500 Falcon Trade daily chart October 17, 2025 (Friday)
The price clearly breaks the rising trendline with a long bearish candle, tests a return to the rising trendline but is pushed back by the upper shadow, and continues to move within a downtrend channel. We will watch whether it continues within the downtrend channel. Had it returned promptly to the rising trendline, there would have been a spark of upside, but if it cannot climb back above the rising trendline for six days, the high likely occurred at $6,750.83 on 10/13.

This week's S&P500
This week (Oct 13–17) the S&P500 (SPX) rebounded strongly, rising about 1.7% for the week and finishing at 6,664.01. It marked a recovery from the previous week’s sharp drop, with the 6,500 level acting as a major support.
Early in the week, a rally dominated as buyers covered recent losses, with October 13 (Monday) briefly up over 1%.
Midweek saw some selling from rising rates and renewed banking concerns, but the support around 6,500 held, and the week ended solid, led by the financials and industrials sectors.
On a closing basis, +1.7% week-over-week, the strongest weekly gain since August, reclaiming the psychological 6,600 level.
News that the Trump administration would partially ease 100% tariffs on China eased U.S.-China frictions and reduced risk-off sentiment.
Regional banks largely beat estimates, easing credit concerns centered on the financial sector.
Technically, the 6,500–6,550 support zone remained intact, leaving room for a near-term rebound.
SPX briefly exited a crash scenario and, after confirming a bottom, staged a relief rally (confidence-led rise). The 6,500 level remains a technically important support; whether it can be maintained will be key to future trend reversals.
Next week (Oct 20–24) in the U.S., government shutdown continues, with several major economic indicators scheduled but many statistics delayed or undecided. Still, inflation and housing data will be market focal points.
Next week's key economic indicators and events
Oct 21 (Tue): Housing starts and building permits (Sept, release may be delayed)
Oct 22 (Wed): 20-year Treasury auction, numerous speeches by Fed officials
Oct 23 (Thu):
Existing home sales (Sept)
Initial jobless claims (weekly)
5-year TIPS auction
Oct 24 (Fri):
CPI and core CPI for September (reopened release with high attention)
University of Michigan Consumer Confidence Index (Oct preliminary)
New home sales (Sept, possible delay)
Key takeaways
Due to government agency shutdowns, formal CPI and housing statistics may be postponed again.
Markets are especially watching inflation rates (CPI and core CPI), with September actuals expected around CPI +2.9% year-over-year and core CPI around +3.1%.
Several Fed officials are scheduled to speak; market focus will be on comments regarding potential rate cuts by end of October.
Next week, statistics remain uncertain, but inflation and the housing market direction will be the focus. Depending on the results, market expectations for a September-end Fed rate cut could shift.
