SPX broke the short term rising channel yesterday as well as the daily middle band. I’m not seeing any strong reason to think that yesterday’s low won’t be retested and if so there is strong support at the last significant low and the weekly middle band, both at 2072. A break and particularly a close below would open up a test of double top support at 2039. Overhead resistance is at the daily middle band at 2096 and bulls really need to get back over and hold over the 50 hour MA at 2108. SPX daily chart:
