S&P 500 Rally Runs Into Important Make Or Break Level
Chris Kimble | Jan 23, 2019 12:15PM ET
Four weeks ago the stock market was in panic mode. My, oh my, how things can change fast. But don’t let the good vibes go to your head just yet. Active investors need to fight off complacency here, as the S&P 500 knocks on an important price level.
Today we focus on the S&P 500 “weekly” chart.
Note that last year’s weekly closing high took place on 9/21/18, the first day of Fall. And the weekly closing low took place on 12/21/18, the first day of Winter.
Last Friday’s weekly closing price was at the 50 percent Fibonacci retracement of those very 9/21 highs and 12/21 lows.
In my humble opinion, this level marks an important bull/bear battleground. Breakout or breakdown? Put this one on your radar as it could be a “Make or Break Level” for the S&P 500.
