With Friday’s breakout surge above the 2,060 bull/bear pivot level, price stalled above 2,070 and has formed a clear Magnet or Midpoint Price at the current level of 2,071.

Note the visual symmetrical triangle or compression trendlines developing into this spot.

Look to play bullishly for a breakout beyond 2,075 or bearishly under 2,065 for a possible impulse swing.

Let’s see what our Breadth Chart reveals about current market strength (or weakness):

As is often the case on Range Days, we’re seeing a mixed signal from Money Flow or Sector Breadth.

The strongest two sectors are Discretionary and Health Care, one from an Offensive and one from a Defensive group.

Otherwise breadth is flat (under 50%) while Materials and Energy are today’s weakest sectors.

With no clear signal, price is left to dwindle into a sideways compression without direction.
