All three moving averages are curling down and the upper one has just crossed below the middle one...hinting of further weakness ahead. Today's low touched the lower MA, which roughly converges with the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level. A break and hold below today's low of 2964.40, together with the crossing of the middle MA below the lower MA, could send the price down to the next Fibonacci retracement level (40%) at 2835, or even the 50% level at 2712.
Conversely, if today's high of 3080.20 (which is roughly the present level of the crossed upper and middle MAs) is broken and held, we could see the SPX push above the alligator's jaw and retest last week's high at 3233.13, or higher. Watch for the shortest MA to curl upwards, then the other two, to support higher prices.
The momentum indicator (MOM) has risen back above the zero level today. It's important that it remain above zero to support higher prices in the near term.
