Daily Swing Chart Technical Forecast

The direction of the index today is likely to be determined by trader reaction to 2790.50.

A sustained move over 2790.50 will indicate the presence of buyers. This could trigger a rally into the March 13 top at 2807.25. Be careful buying strength, however, because the volume is light ahead of the Fed decisions on Wednesday.

A sustained move under 2790.50 will signal the presence of sellers. The next support is 2752.00 and 2749.25.
