Will S&P 500 bounce after inflation data?

The S&P 500 index lost 0.70% on Wednesday as it retraced its Tuesday’s intraday advance after bouncing from the 4,500 level. The market reached new local low of 4,461.33 yesterday. It was 145.7 points or 3.16% below its July 27 medium-term high of 4,607.07.

There is still a lot of uncertainty concerning monetary policy, some technology/AI stocks’ valuation concerns, but investors’ sentiment remains bullish.

Stocks will likely open 0.3% higher today after the Consumer Price Index release. It was as expected at +0.2% m/m. Recently the S&P 500 broke below a two-month-long upward trend line last week as we can see on the daily chart:
