  • Technical Outlook: SPX pulled back yesterday to the triangle breakout area, but held the 20 and 50-day moving averages.  The bears have had opportunities-galore over the past few weeks to drive this market lower.

  • Technical Outlook: SPX broke and closed above the triangle I outlined in the chart below.

  • Technical Outlook: Another day of weakness in the market which has been the main theme of this market for the past two weeks.  Despite 7 of the last 10 trading sessions finishing lower, the opportunity to profit from this market to he short side is very limited.

  • Technical Outlook: After a 3-day bounce, the market pulled back on Friday and formed a bearish engulfing candle pattern over the last two days.  It is essential here that the bulls continue the pattern to new all-time highs.
