S&P 500 Index Chart Analysis INDEXSP: .INX

The S&P 500’s break of 2892 is considered bearish structurally.

The index temporarily stabilized near prior lows, but we could see additional near-term weakness down to 2817 on S&P 500 Futures before any type of trading low.

Overall, this could lead to acceleration to challenge early August and/or June lows.

A move below 2817 will open the door for 2779.

The S&P 500’s decline is threatening to violate the trend from early August, something that would very likely bring about weakness into end of month, vs a rally.

Market breadth has changed to nearly 5/1 negative and has worsened throughout the session. Volume also is at similar levels.

Overall, Friday is looked upon as a negative structurally and Treasury yields are also declining nearly 10 bps with TNX back down under 1.52%. Overall, it’s right to be defensive and to seek out the areas of strength.
