S&P closes right at support of 1040 but headed down

The S&P dropped like a rock today and closed at 1041 above the low set in October 2009.  There is a head and shoulders top forming and 1040 is the neckline.  This level was penetrated right before the close today but managed to climb back above this level.

Where is the S&P going?

This week should about tell the tale of where we are headed.  The S&P 500 was up $25.91 last week for two up weeks in a row.  That is the good news.  Now the support at 1040 has held for the last two weeks, but we still have overhead resistance at the 50 day MA of . . . → Read More: Where is the S&P going?

Market view for the week

The S&P 500 finished the week up over last week.  It appears to be a short covering rally until sentiment can become more bullish.  There simply aren’t any sellers out there right now.  Given the drop in May prices need to at least stabilize before they head back down.

We should go test resistance of the 50 . . . → Read More: Market view for the week

S&P oversold and due for a rebound

It appears the recent sell off in the market was a little to fast and is poised for a bounce. The S&P 500 has held support at 1050 and could see a 10% bounce back up to the 50 day moving average. This would form what appears to be the right shoulder of a . . . → Read More: S&P oversold and due for a rebound

Don’t look now, but the S&P is rolling over as well as the other indexes.  As you can see from the chart below, the S&P dropped below the 50 day MA last week and bounced off of the 200 day moving average and is testing it again.  If we close below the 200 day MA there . . . → Read More: S&P is rolling over

S&P 500 Breaks out

Well no one likes to be wrong, but it looks like I was when I called for a double top last week.  The S&P 500 broke thru the 1100 level to close at 1109 and then held the 1100 level yesterday.  This should give us another leg up until we run into resistance at about 1150 . . . → Read More: S&P 500 Breaks out
