|
|
Within two weeks, SPX reached a high at 1,326.70 and a low at 1,256.28. Consequently, a correction may be underway that's not yet complete. The first three daily charts below show the SPX 1994 correction, the current 2006 SPX, and the initial SPX 2000 correction. Generally, the three charts show, not long after reaching highs, falls to around the 200-day MA took place. The two previous charts show bounces from the 200-day MA, over two or three weeks, and then pullbacks.
The fourth chart is an SPX weekly chart that shows over the past two weeks, SPX fell from the upper Bollinger Band to the lower Bollinger Band. Consequently, the steep fall created a severely short-term oversold condition. The lower weekly Bollinger Band, currently 1,256 3/4, is a major support level. Also, the 200-day MA is currently 1,257 3/4. Further support are the 2006 low and a multi-year Fibonacci level, both at 1,246.
SPX 1,275 has been a key support and resistance level. Generally, SPX may trade in the lower half of weekly Bollinger Bands, currently between 1,256 3/4 and 1,289 1/2, over the next two weeks. If SPX reaches about 1,290 short-term, it may pullback in Jun, perhaps to 1,246 or lower. The fifth chart is an SPX monthly chart that suggests a fall below the middle monthly Bollinger Band, currently 1,222, will indicate the end of the cyclical bull market.
