The S&P 500 initially pulled back during trading on Wednesday but found enough support at the 2560 level to turn around and rally significantly. At this point, we could be trying to form a bit of a base.
The S&P 500 pulled back during the trading session on Wednesday, reaching down towards the 2560 handle, an area that was supportive previously. If we can break above the downtrend line that I have marked on the hourly chart, extensively the 2625 handle, the market should then continue to go much higher. I think that the market should then go to the 2680 level, and then eventually the 2700 level. I believe that volatility will continue to be a major issue, but with the jobs number coming out tomorrow, it’s likely that we will be reacting to that as well.
I believe that if we are turn around and break down below the 2550 level, then I think that the 2500 level should be targeted next, as it is a large consolidation area that should continue to be of importance. If we do breakout to the upside, I think that you will see a lot of fresh money come back into the market, as so much has left the market. When I do like about this chart is that we came roaring back after drifting lower. I think that the market continues to be very noisy, and I think that it will be a bit difficult to hang onto, but ultimately it looks as if we could be seeing in the market turn over a bit and try to make a run to the upside. If we were to break down below the 2500 level, that would be a very negative sign and could send the sellers into the market, selling hand over fist.
