S&P 500
The S&P 500 tested a resistance level.
- The S&P 500 traded up near the 2600 level and the moved lower as expected.
- The up move came with lower volume, so we are still cautious about a new uptrend.
- Potential support is now the 20-day moving average at 2523.40 and the 10-day at 2741.00. Typical when there are two support levels together it is much stronger support.
- RSI has moved above the middle line to 52.12 which is good sign for more potential upside moves.
