In news from the global markets, US and European stock markets snapped their recent losing streak with a strong rebound on Wednesday, as energy prices eased and traders bet that EU leaders would take action to limit the economic impact of Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

However, investor sentiment has shifted ahead of an EU summit today when leaders will discuss a new growth and investment model and ways to reduce dependence on Russian energy.

US stocks surged led by financial and tech shares, rebounding from several down days.

The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite jumped 3.6% while the Dow Jones rallied 2%.

Meanwhile, renewed risk appetite drove the S&P 500 to its largest one-day gain since June 2020, rising 2.6%.

Speaking of S&P 500, ace chartist at Equitymaster Brijesh Bhatia shared an update on the broad-based index yesterday, on his telegram channel.

Brijesh shared the levels which needs to be watched if the S&P wants to continue its bullish trend.

Here's Brijesh:

• The sell-off in last couple of hours ended the day near lows for S&P500 (SPX) after the stellar comeback from 4,114.

 

• Surprisingly, the low of 4114 is also the palindromic number which has its significance in astro analysis. (I am not an astro analyst)
  
  Technically, the reversal from bullish nen-star harmonic pattern and dip to test the lows are can be an opportunity for bulls.
  
  The bullish cypher pattern has formed near the yesterday's low indicating the bears may call it a day for this bearish momentum.
  
  The bullish divergence on RSI signs a weakening bears and it's time for bulls to enter the arena.
  
  If bears want to continue their bearish momentum, they need to break 4,000-4,052 zone where the bullish harmonic will negate.
