I was talking on Friday and Monday about the likely topping process now in progress on SPX here, and the possibility that SPX would head down into the possible H&S neckline in the 4070 area, supported by the daily RSI 5 sell signal that had fixed. That target was reached yesterday, and the daily RSI 5 sell signal made and exceeded the target at the 30 level on the daily RSI 5.

Failing At Strong Resistance

By -

The main resistance for the downtrend on SPX since the all time high is twofold, and those two resistance levels are currently crossing.

The first level is the monthly middle band, which has a long track record of acting as main support in an uptrend, and main resistance in a downtrend. That is currently at 4173 and the high this week was at 4169, so that was an almost perfect test.

The second level is the trendline from the 2009 low that was resistance in 2010, then resistance for multiple tests in 2012-14, 2018 & 2020 until it was broken hard in the collapse upwards after the 2020 low.
