S&P500 Technical Analysis | Forexlive
On the daily chart below, we can
see the price is slowly approaching the major broken downward trendline. That is something the buyers
are watching and hoping for the level to hold, but the sentiment is
increasingly turning bearish.
The moving
averages are pointing south and yesterday we got some bad news in the ISM
Manufacturing PMI report where the “prices paid” sub-index jumped
back into expansion and triggered more worries about another inflationary wave
and a more hawkish Fed. For now, the market is in a “sell the rallies” mode.
In the 4
hour chart below, we can see that the price is diverging with the MACD coming into the major trendline.
That is a sign of weaker momentum and it may be caused by the buyers fighting
hard the sellers as a breakout lower may trigger a bigger selloff.
The
moving averages have acted nicely as resistance for the bearish trend and we can
expect them to continue to do so as long as the economic data keeps coming in
strong.
In the 1 hour chart below, we can
see that if we were to get a pullback, the price is likely to come back to the
trendline and the 61.8% Fibonacci
retracement level. The sellers will start to pile in there as
the risk will be defined.
Tomorrow we have the ISM Non-Manufacturing PMI report and that’s another key
economic report that the market will be focused on. Strong readings, especially
on the prices side, should lead to another selloff, while weak numbers should
give the buyers some relief and lead to a more positive sentiment.
