The S&P 500 continues to exhibit choppy and range-bound behavior as traders try to figure out the market’s direction amidst concerns about central banks tightening globally, global slowing, and uncertainty surrounding the Federal Reserve's actions. The market is expected to remain choppy throughout the summer, with traders viewing the 4200 level as a significant resistance barrier and the 4000 level as a crucial support level.

The market's behavior will also be influenced by traders' risk appetite and whether or not they believe the Federal Reserve will bail out the market. Wall Street firms are in consensus about this, but the market continues to exhibit choppy and range-bound behavior. The market will be paying close attention to the CPI numbers coming out on Wednesday, which could influence the market's behavior and traders' expectations of the next Federal Reserve meeting, currently pricing only an 8% chance of an interest rate hike in June.
