Technicals:
When we talk about support we often think of straight lines. But the reality is both support and resistance are more zones than lines.
Check out this chart that tracks the S&P 500…
While we wanted to see the market hold above the top line … The current sideways movement is showing us a strong area of demand.
We are waiting for confirmation that the bullish trend will continue.
If the SPY closes above $420, we’ll flip back bullish.
Our current stance is neutral.
On that note, we are not interested in timing these turns perfectly. The first and last tick of a trend are always the most expensive ticks of the trend.
The other signals we’re tracking…
- RSI levels are neutral
- The VIX remains below the key level of 25
- The put-to-call ratio is also neutral
The market is free to move higher if it wants.
