- The S&P 500 moved above resistance at 2800 intraday on 2/25/2018, but it closed at 2796.11.
- The next possible support level is now the 10-day moving average at 2765.70.
- The move higher only came with average volume, so the breakout must be following through soon to be a true a new leg higher.
