The S&P 500 Index has moved sideways since Wednesday’s close.

Key price area will be 3141 on the downside for S&P 500, while up at 3151.75 is key heading into Monday’s session.

Breaks of either side should lead to follow-through. Normally sideways patterns like this are 4th wave consolidation types which can lead to a final push higher, in this case, potentially up to 3155-60. But we’ll be open to any outcome.
