SPX 500 Analysis: Down Move Ready To Resume?

 | Aug 04, 2015 02:29AM ET

Talking Points:

  • Support: 2089.40, 2081.20, 2072.90
  • Resistance: 2099.50, 2115.90, 2137.10

The SPX 500 turned downward anew after finding resistance above the 2100.00 figure, dropping the most in five months. A daily close below the 38.2% Fibonacci expansion at 2089.40 exposes the 50% level at 2081.20. Alternatively, a reversal above the 23.6% Fib at 2099.50 clears the way for a challenge of the July 31 high at 2115.90.
