What happened last week
The S&P 500 broke below the 2023 support and drifted down to retest the lower limit of the “Expanding Wedge” configuration at 1980/1975. Another week of high volatility! Please click on this link for more details on our previous outlook.
Key elements
- Since early December 2014, the Index continues to evolve within an ‘Expanding Wedge” configuration with upper and lower limits at 2100/2126 and 1980/1975 respectively. Current price action is hovering just above the 1980/1975 lower limit (see daily chart).
- The 200-day Moving Average is acting as a support at 1980 (see daily chart).
- The intermediate term RSI oscillator continues to be supported by its ascending trendline (see daily chart).
- The upper limit of the “Expanding Wedge” at 2126 also corresponds with the 1.236 Fibonacci projection from 16 December 2014 low to 16 January 2015 low (see 4 hour chart).
- The short-term Stochastic oscillator has dipped into the oversold region (see 4 hour chart).
Key levels (1 to 3 weeks)
Pivot (key support): 1980/1975
Resistance: 2067 & 2100/2126
Next support: 1920/1900
Conclusion
As long as the weekly pivotal support at 1980/1975 holds, the Index is likely to shape a push up towards the 2067 range top joining the highs since 09 January 2015. Only a clear break above 2067 may trigger a further upside movement towards the “Expanding Wedge” range top at 2100/2126.
On the other hand, failure to hold above 1980/1975 may see a deeper decline to test the long-term significant support at 1920/1900 (also the lower boundary of the long-term ascending channel –in light blue).
