S&P 500: Could we still see an upward move?

Recap 8/15 - The S&P opened with an 11 handle gap down and then declined another 12 handles for a first minute low of the day. From that low, the S&P rallied 24 handles into a 9:59 AM high. From that high, the S&P declined 17 handles into an 11:13 AM low. From that low, the S&P rallied 38 handles into a 3:50 PM high of the day. From that high, the S&P pulled back 6 handles into the close.

Chart

8/15 – The major indices had a small to moderate up day to finish with the following closes: DJIA + 151.31; S&P 500 + 16.99; and the Nasdaq Comp. + 80.87. 8/15 Review – We were looking for a possible first hour high and instead got a first hour low. There is a slim chance this could still work if the market immediately turns down during Tuesday’s first hour. Otherwise, we’ll have to chalk up the 8/12 AC change in trend as a miss.

Looking Ahead – We have three points indicating a turn for 8/17. Please see details below.

The Now Index is in the NEUTRAL ZONE.
