S&P500 Futures print mild losses of 0.15% while declining to 3,474 before the European traders arrive for Thursday’s move. The risk barometer refreshed the record high to 3,483.38 on Wednesday but overbought RSI triggered the quote’s pullback afterward.

As a result, the sellers eye support line of an upward sloping trend channel from August 21, at 3,458 as an immediate target, a break of which will highlight Tuesday’s top near 3,448.
During the bears’ dominance past-3,448, the 3,400 psychological magnet and August 19 peak near 3,395 could return to the chart.
