March 9 Ranging Market Update and Stock Scan

The 1,980 level in the S&P 500 has been our target (and support zone) and price bounced higher today.

Let’s update our levels for the S&P 500 Index and note the big trending stocks today:

From our strategy planning member report, we were using 1,980 as both a downside target (achieved yesterday and then again today) AND a support-pivot play.

Price did bounce higher, creating a Range Day environment during today’s session between 1,980 and 1,990.

The intraday uptrend would continue with a bullish breakthrough beyond 1,990.
