Technical Outlook (SPX):
- SPX managed to put together a solid ‘follow-through’ day after a huge rally on Friday.
- SPX has now made new highs on the uptrend that began on 6/4.
- With the market closing at 1pm today, volume should be light, and somewhat erratic.
- We’ve moved decisively into short-term overbought
- Resistance should start coming through if the SPX can eventually get into the 1390’s.
- We’ve broken through and held the 100-day moving average, despite the previous failed attempts .
- Yesterday provided the market with a new higher-high.
- Strong upward trend in place.
- Volume in general continues to be relatively light during the past month of trading.
- 30-minute chart looks like a traditional breakout chart, though overextended in the short-term.
- Below 1306-1308 price level, will nullify the current rally off of the 6/4 lows.
- Would represent a ‘lower-low’ in the market.
- VIX dropping hard and is now below 17.
