S&P 500 Index (SPX) — On Thursday the S&P 500 took out last week’s high of 833 following a shallow pullback to just under 800.
But despite a new buy signal from the stochastic, if the bulls are to turn the tide they must mount a high-volume attack on a number of resistance levels, beginning with 820 to 87, which is in the broader zone of 800 to 920 established from October to mid-February.
A 23.6% retracement of the entire bear market (based upon a Fibonacci number) at 886 roughly coincides with that zone, so it is likely that the target of the recent run-up lies within 875 to 900.
