S&P500 Technical Analysis: Stocks slide before the close


  • The S&P500 finished the day with a slide as the index made virtually a repeat of Wednesday’s trading.The S&P500 is losing steam as it is approaching the all-time-high at 2,875.50. Bulls objective is to push through 2,875.50 level in order to breakout into uncharted territory towards 2,900 figure. 
  • On the flip side, bears want to breakout below 2,852.00 (this Thursday low) in order to create a reversal down and target 2,845.00 and 2,835.25 August 6 low.
  • As the S&P500 is losing momentum below its all-time-high and the 200-period simple moving average (15-m) the bears have a fair chance in having a successful bearish reversal.
