In case of breakdown of the short-term support level 4444.0 (ЕМА200 on the 15-minute chart), the correctional decline may continue to the support level 4410.0 (ЕМА200 on the 4-hour chart and ЕМА50 on the daily chart), and after its breakdown - to the lower border of the aforementioned descending channel passing between important long-term support levels 4278.0 (ЕМА144 on the daily chart), 4176.0 (ЕМА200 on the daily chart). Above these levels, the long-term upward trend in the S&P 500 remains.

Therefore, the breakdown of the local resistance level 4477.0 will be a signal for the resumption of long positions with the nearest target at the absolute record highs near 4545.0.
