Cramer Spotlights Boroden's Analysis Of S&P 500 Chart: 'She Sees This As A Make-Or-Break Moment'

Prominent market commentator Jim Cramer has analyzed a chart by Carolyn Boroden to highlight that the S&P 500 is at a critical moment from where it could move higher or cut its upward trajectory short, according to CNBC.

“The charts, as interpreted by Carolyn Boroden, suggest the S&P 500 could be due for some near-term turbulence if it can’t break out above last week’s highs,” Cramer said, according to the report.

Cramer used a daily chart of the index to explain Boroden’s analysis. He noted that the S&P 500 is approaching an important hurdle that could curtail its ability to rise further.

The market commentator explained that the S&P 500′s recent rise from its mid-October lows is similar in scale to its rally from late 2021 through early January 2022. “She’s not saying that the rally’s toast. But Boroden says the S&P needs to clear this hurdle — it needs to break out above last week’s high,” Cramer said, adding, “In short, she sees this as a make-or-break moment for the S&P 500, at least in the near-term.”
