S&P 500 Trading Outlook: Bears Drop The Ball Again

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

The S&P 500’s (SPX) ability to rally and close back above 2633 yesterday energized today’s follow through gains. The latest move higher is constructive and should stabilize the broader market for a potential santa rally.

As it stands, the market is poised to test (and likely exceed) all-time highs in the days ahead. Only a move back below 2622 on S&P 500 futures would swing this market back to the bears side.

The recovery of the Semicondutors (SOX) has helped the broader market recovery.
