The rising wedges that I was looking at on Thursday broke down and have been retesting the all time highs last night on NDX, and this morning on SPX, with another possibly coming on RUT though Stan’s thinking lower high there. We are looking for a failure today on SPX anywhere from a marginal new high up into the 2482 area, and so it’s possible that this short term high is already made. On the bigger picture this is a possible swing high, but we’ll have to see whether any serious breakdown can be sustained from here. This has been a very persistent uptrend. I posted the premarket video that I do every morning for Daily Video Subscribers at theartofchart.net on my twitter before the open and if you missed it then you can see that here. As well as equity indices that also covers DX, CL, NG, GC, ZB, HG, KC, SB, CC & ZW of course.
On SPX a 60min RSI 14 sell signal is now brewing, though a few handles higher into the short term high would improve the look of this divergence. SPX is testing trendline resistance. SPX 60min chart:
On NDX a very decently formed 60min sell signal is brewing. A retest of last night’s globex all time high would set a possible 60min sell signal brewing on NQ as well, and we may need to see that. . NDX 60min chart:

ES looks cooked here. A retrace and higher high on negative divergence would improve the high. ES Sep 60min chart:
NQ may already be breaking down. Under 5900 the swing high is likely made. Until then I’m wondering about a possible retest of last night’s high to set a possible 60min sell signal brewing. NQ Sep 60min chart:
TF made the 60min sell signal target and is close to a retest of the all time high there. That retest isn’t required before this high but we may see it anyway. TF Sep 60min chart:
We should see this high today and, if seen, this will be a decent looking candidate swing high, though it’s obviously been hard to sustain a downtrend long on equity indices so far this year. We’ll see how this one goes.
