S&P 500
The S&P 500 moved above the 200-day moving average.
- The S&P 500 moved decisively above the 200-day moving average last week and potential resistance is now the 2800.18 level.
- Potential support now becomes the 200-day moving average at 2744.88.
- The rally last week came with only average volume, so we could see a pullback to support soon.
- The RSI is almost overbought which is another sign we could see a pullback to support soon.
- A small pullback down to the 200-day moving average would be healthy for the index. Markets are extended and close to overbought which makes it hard for more upside at this time.
