The S&P 500 has been rather difficult to trade recently, mainly because of the midterm elections and all of the other nonsense it’s going on like trade wars, interest rate hikes freaking out the market and of course algorithmic trading.

The S&P 500 has shown signs of support and resistance at the 2750 handle, an area that we are approaching as a look at the charts. I think that this market will continue to be very difficult to trade, but as you can see I have a purple ellipse on the chart that extends to just above the 2800 level. At the first signs of exhaustion I suspect the sellers will jump in but I think that no matter what happens next this market is going to be very difficult to deal with. Overall, I believe that the sellers did a lot of technical damage so of course it’s going to be difficult for the buyers to hang on. I also believe that if we do not get some type of agreement between the Americans and Chinese – and that’s what I believe will happen – at the Buenos Aires meeting, it’s very likely to have a negative drag on the stock market. As far as buying is concerned, I would be very hesitant to do so, at least not until we get above the 2800 level. I will however not hesitate to short some type of exhaustive candle. At that point, I would anticipate that the market could drop down towards the 2700 level, if not the 2650 level.

I would keep my position size small, because quite frankly this type of market that can cause a lot of volatility and damage to the profit and loss of your trading account. Ultimately, be cautious is the biggest thing.
