SPDR S&P 500 ETF downgraded to Hold/Accumulate
(Updated on Jul 17, 2026)
The SPDR S&P 500 ETF price fell by -0.99% on the last day (Friday, 17th Jul 2026) from $750.72 to $743.29. During the last trading day the ETF fluctuated 0.88% from a day low at $740.80 to a day high of $747.29. The price has been going up and down for this period, and there has been a -0.2% loss for the last 2 weeks. Volume has increased on the last day by 20 million shares but on falling prices. This may be an early warning and the risk will be increased slightly over the next couple of days. In total, 61 million shares were bought and sold for approximately $45.60 billion.
The ETF lies in the lower part of a weak rising trend in the short term, and this may normally pose a very good buying opportunity. If the lower trend floor at $739.10 is broken, it will firstly indicate a slower rate of rising, but may also be an early warning for a trend shift. Given the current short-term trend, the ETF is expected to rise 4.49% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $772.29 and $811.39 at the end of this 3-month period.
SPY Signals & Forecast
Furthermore, there is a buy signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). Some negative signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. The SPDR S&P 500 ETF holds sell signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a more negative forecast for the ETF. On corrections up, there will be some resistance from the lines at $750.93 and $745.90. A break-up above any of these levels will issue buy signals. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Friday, July 10, 2026, and so far it has fallen -1.54%. Further fall is indicated until a new bottom pivot has been found. Volume rose on falling prices yesterday. This may be an early warning and the ETF should be followed more closely. The ETF had a Golden Star Signal on Monday, June 29, 2026 in the short-term chart.
Golden Star Signal is when the short-term moving average, the long-term moving average, and price line meet in a special combination. This combination is very rare and often followed by long and strong gains for the ETF in question.

Trading Expectations (SPY) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Monday 20th
For the upcoming trading day on Monday, 20th we expect SPDR S&P 500 ETF to open at $743.79, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $739.21 and $747.37, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$8.17 (+/-1.10%) up or down from last closing price. If SPDR S&P 500 ETF takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 1.10% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.
Since the stock is closer to the support from accumulated volume at $740.96 (0.31%) than the resistance at $746.52 (0.43%), our systems sees the trading risk/reward intra-day as attractive and believe profit can be made before the stock reaches first resistance..
Is SPDR S&P 500 ETF ETF A Buy?
SPDR S&P 500 holds several negative signals and this should be a sell candidate, but due to the general chance for a turnaround situation it should be considered as a hold candidate (hold or accumulate) in this position whilst awaiting further development. Due to some small weaknesses in the technical picture we have downgraded our analysis conclusion for this ETF since the last evaluation from a Buy to a Hold candidate.
