Watch the trend-line on the chart of the S&P 500
A lot can change here today or this week if the rising trend-line as noted in the chart of the S&P 500 below fails to hold. You have a potential topping pattern – emphasis on “potential” – with a new all time high that was achieved a couple of weeks ago, followed by a lower-high achieved last week. Now that all goes away if SPX can breakout to new all-time highs this week.
Fail to do so and break the trend line shown below, and the bulls will have a problem on their hands.
