What happened yesterday
The US SP 500 Index (proxy for the S&P 500) has managed to stage the expected bullish breakout from the former “stubborn” trendline resistance that has capped the Index since 21 July 2015 @3am.
Key elements
- Current price action of the US SP500 Index has staged a pull-back which is in line with other major global indices after a 6.5% plunge seen in the Shanghai Composite Index in the afternoon session due to an announcement from Chinese brokerages to restart margin finance and short-selling facilities.
- The current pull-back has managed to stage at the former trendline resistance now turns pull-back support (in dotted brown) at 2094.
- Since the 13 August 2015 low @12am, the Index has now evolved into a short-term ascending channel with its upper boundary (resistance) pointing towards the 2128/2138 zone which also confluences with the 5-month sideways range configuration in place since late February 2015 (see daily & 1 hour charts).
- The hourly Stochastic has dipped back into the oversold region which suggests a potential rebound in price action of the Index is imminent.
Key levels
Pivot (key support): 2094
Resistance: 2113 & 2128/2138
Next support: 2078
Conclusion
As long as the 2094 daily pivotal support holds, the Index is likely to shape another round of potential upside movement to target 2113 with a maximum limit set at the significant range top of 2128/2138.
On the flipside, a break below the 2094 pivotal support is likely to negate the bullish tone to see a slide to retest the 2078 support in place since 13 August 2015 low @9pm.
