S&P At Resistance
Declan Fallon | Jun 18, 2015 12:00AM ET
Yesterday's gains in the indices were able to add a little more upside before coming up against resistance. The S&P 500 finished in the crux of former rising support, declining resistance, and the 50-day MA. Volume declined with technicals net bearish. Tomorrow is decision time for the index: break declining resistance and a retest 2,134 opens up, reverse, and a move to the 200-day MA comes into play.
The Nasdaq 100 finished at former bearish wedge support, turned resistance. Despite bullish volume accumulation, technicals remain negative.
However, the Nasdaq did enough to regain rising wedge support on yesterday's gain, redrawing support and shifting the index back to neutral. Volume also climbed to register as accumulation.
The rally in the Russell 2000 is morphing into a bearish wedge and is fast approaching resistance at 1,278. Unlike other indices, it lost a little ground to yesterday. While the index is outperforming the NASDAQ and S&P, technicals like the MACD histogram and ADX are bearish. It could be an interesting swing trade for either a reversal off resistance or a break to new all-time highs.
For tomorrow. look to the Russell 2000 and Nasdaq 100 to reverse off resistance, but if buyers take control then the S&P might be the ticket. However, a strong day for bulls may see the Russell 2000 negate the potential double top, breakout, and regain its leadership roll.
