The S&P 500 initially dipped a bit during the trading session to test the previous uptrend line, only to turn around and show signs of life yet again.
The S&P 500 has pulled back a bit during the course of the trading session on Monday but has recovered from the previous uptrend line that I have drawn. At this point in time, the market forming a bit of a hammer like candlestick does suggest that we are going to go higher, and perhaps go looking towards even bigger moves. I do think that it is only a matter of time before we see this market continue the upside move, and you could even make a little bit of an argument for an inverted head and shoulders kicking off. Nonetheless, we are in the midst of earnings season so it does make a certain amount of sense that we would see buyers get involved. With this, the “buy on the dip” mentality seems to be in full effect.
The 50 day EMA underneath is starting to curl little higher, and it is likely to offer a bit of support, so we pull back towards that area think plenty of buyers will come back into the market. That being said, I think if we clear 4500, it is very likely that the S&P 500 will continue to go much higher, at that point in time, I would anticipate a lot of new inflow. Quite frankly, you guys know I do not short the S&P 500 but would be a buyer of puts if we break down. At the market breaking below the 4250 level, I would be a buyer of puts, but that is about as negative as I would get in this market.
