“The S&P 500 has for now essentially ignored the bearish ‘reversal day’ from Tuesday and this leaves the focus firmly on the mid-September highs and 61.8% retracement of the fall from September at 3429/44.”
“With a clear ‘head & shoulders’ base forming and with daily MACD momentum having already turned higher our bias leans higher for an eventual clear and sustained move above 3444. This would then see a more important base established to mark a resumption of the core uptrend. We would then see resistance at 3495 initially ahead of 3565 and eventually the 3588 high. Immediate support moves to 3396/94, with 3385/81 now ideally holding to keep the immediate risk higher.”
“Below 3355/47 though remains needed to ease the immediate prospect of a base and the likelihood for further range trading and a retest of support at 3324/23.”
