While several equity strategists, including those at Morgan Stanley and Bank of America, recently warned about the limited upside in U.S. stocks, Oppenheimer analysts see the potential for the S&P 500 to continue grinding higher in the coming months.

Technical analysts there believe the S&P 500 could rally to as high as 4600, which implies an upside potential of around 11% from current levels. The index is already up ~7.8% year-to-date (YTD).

“Rallies with more stocks participating are often the rallies that continue, meaning we surely don’t see this as a market positive. However, we don’t think this has become a negative either, and side with the view that large-cap strength should outweigh small-cap weakness,” they said in a client note.

The S&P 500 rally should also lift Russell 2000 to 2100, signaling an upside potential of ~18%. The analysts reminded investors that the latter continues to trade above the key support (1650).

However, if small-cap stocks continue to trend lower and ultimately hit a new cycle low, they believe this could make the S&P 500 more vulnerable and push the index to below 3800.
