Wednesday’s S&P 500 index futures session bounced back from Tuesday’s dip, charging to new all-time highs, though the 6800 level continued to act as a stubborn area with a triple-top and now a close in that zone.

Overnight, bulls held firm at unchanged, briefly dipping to a low of 6758.25. Premarket trading oscillated around the daily pivot, with similar indecision in the first half-hour of the regular session. Once bulls broke through the premarket high, momentum surged toward new all-time highs, pausing briefly near Monday’s all-time closing high before pushing higher. 

Resistance near 6800 capped further gains, but buyers persisted into the final minutes. The session wrapped at a new all-time closing high of 6801.25, up 39.75 handles, with after-hours trading hitting a fresh all-time high of 6807.75.

Thursday brings a mix of morning and evening earnings reports, Fed Chair Powell’s comments in the morning, and additional fedspeak throughout the day.

Among top index components, Broadcom Inc (NASDAQ: AVGO) led as the biggest gainer, rising $9.09 or 2.70% to close at $345.50.

That outperformed the cash index’s 0.60% gain by a fabulous four times. 

Conversely, JPMorgan Chase & Co (NYSE: JPM) was the biggest loser, falling $3.66 or 1.19% to close at $304.03.
