Saudi Market
TASI Technical Analysis:
The Saudi market is currently exhibiting a technical rebound within a broader intermediate-term downtrend. The index is now testing critical resistance at the 11,100-11,200 level after bouncing from potential double-bottom support near 10,429-10,600, representing a significant 16.5% correction from peak to trough. While short-term technical indicators show improvement with RSI at 53.36 (neutral zone) and MACD displaying a bullish crossover signal, the index remains below key moving averages and faces substantial resistance layers up to 12,000. The critical determinant being whether the index can decisively break above 11,200 with volume confirmation or alternatively break below 10,600 support. Trading strategy should focus on the 10,600-11,200 range with tight risk management, while monitoring oil prices and regional geopolitical factors that typically influence Saudi market sentiment. The next 2-6 weeks will likely resolve this technical consolidation pattern and determine the market's intermediate-term direction.

S&P500 Technical Analysis:
The S&P 500 is displaying exceptional bullish momentum with a textbook V-shaped recovery from March 2025 lows around 4,835 to new all-time highs at 6,147.43, representing a remarkable 27.1% rally over 3-4 months. The current technical setup shows all moving averages in perfect bullish alignment (10-day at 6,033, 20-day at 6,002, 30-day at 5,967), with the index consolidating in a healthy bull flag pattern near record highs. Key technical indicators strongly support continued upside momentum: RSI at 62.92 remains in bullish territory with room for further gains, MACD shows sustained strength above zero with an expanding histogram at 0.73, and volume analysis confirms institutional accumulation on any dips. The critical resistance level sits at 6,160 (all-time high), while major support is established at 6,000-6,030, with extended upside targets pointing toward 6,200-6,300 based on measured move projections from the current bull flag formation. Minimal downside risk given the robust support structure, this represents one of the strongest technical configurations for sustained upward momentum, though standard risk management remains prudent given the all-time high territory and potential for normal consolidation phases.

Crypto ETF Technical Analysis:
The Invesco Galaxy Bitcoin ETF (BTCO) is displaying a classic consolidation pattern after completing a significant recovery from March 2025 lows around 76-78 to recent highs near 111.77, representing a robust 43% rally over the past 3-4 months. The current price of $107.44 is consolidating in a tight sideways range between $105-$112, with all major moving averages (10-day at 105.50, 20-day at 105.62, 30-day at 105.97) clustered together in a neutral configuration, indicating equilibrium between buyers and sellers. Technical indicators present a mixed but cautiously optimistic picture: RSI at 56.42 sits in neutral territory with slight bullish bias, while MACD shows a positive crossover at 1.09 above the signal line of 1.43, suggesting emerging bullish momentum despite still being in positive territory. The volume pattern reveals accumulation on up-days with lighter selling pressure during pullbacks, typical of institutional positioning in crypto ETFs. Key resistance lies at the recent high of $111.77, while critical support is established at $105 and stronger support at $100-$102. Given Bitcoin's inherent volatility and the ETF's recent technical strength, probability of an upside breakout toward $115-$120 contingent on broader crypto market sentiment and Bitcoin's ability to maintain its current technical structure.
