S&P 500 Trading Outlook (2-3 Days): Bearish

Pullbacks are likely limited to the next 2-3 days before the rally continues.

I expect yesterday’s decline might lead to additional selling pressure before this is complete. Use early strength today to consider lightening up for further weakness.

On the downside: 2745 will be key and if broken will result in a test of yesterday’s price lows.

On the upside: A move back above 2789 is needed to expect that the rally continues without further decline.

10-Year Yield / Interest Rates

The S&P 500 is attempting to stabilize after new Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell’s testimony hit stocks yesterday. It is still likely that interest rates move higher into end of week/early next and that might put a bit more pressure on market

The key for investors will be whether or not the 10-Year Treasury Yield gets back over 2.91. If it does, this would cause movement up to 2.93-4 and result in a bit more pressure on the S&P 500.
