Price impulsed toward the 2,020 (that’s hindsight!) resistance target and retraced lower today.

Let’s update our levels for the S&P 500 Index:

In-depth analysis is always provided to members of the Premium Daily Reports – I hope you’ll join and benefit.

Here’s a quote from last night’s member strategy planning report:

“Be cautious into the 2,020 target which is a Round Number pivot and the prior “spike reversal” high from the Fed Day announcement last month.”

So far, that’s precisely what occurred as price spike above the 2,000 pivot into the next target level at 2,020.

Clear visual  negative divergences – in Momentum and TICK – undercut the new rally highs.

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

We’re seeing DEFENSIVE Money Flow as evidenced by the strong (relative) performance of Staples and Health Care which are traditionally defensive groups.

Another sign of weakness comes to us from the Financial Sector where 6% of stocks are positive now.

With the price action into resistance and bearish sector money flow, let’s be defensive here.

Here’s a top-level or full-perspective view of today’s S&P 500 stock performance (courtesy of FinViz.com).

  1. I always like to follow the trend, as that’s how we can get good results most of the time but if we go against the trend then losing is almost certain. I do get added benefit with OctaFX broker, as they are really outstanding company with having brilliant facilities that includes low spread of 0.2 pips while there is also swap free account option available, it all leads into high level of comfort for me and allows me to succeed.
