The Bullish Creep Continues Market Update and Scan March 22

The never-ending Bull Market Rally continued today with a new swing high occurring in the S&P 500.

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

Logic and negative divergences suggested a downside (bearish) bias going into today’s session – this was confirmed with the initial downside opening gap.

That was all the bearish action we’d see – a swing down toward 2,040 – as buyers rushed in to support the market, generating a reversal and trend day higher.

Respect the range that’s taking the shape of a “Megaphone” or widening range trendline pattern as highlighted.
