U.S. Equities Trading Update: Cycles Point To A Turn

S&P 500 Trading Outlook: 2677 Important

After breaking through initial resistance at 2660, S&P 500 futures are testing a key price resistance level.

While market cycles indicate a likely turning point between April 27 to May 1, a move above 2677.50 (yesterday’s highs) would likely carry prices up to 2688 before stalling.

For the bearish case to get going (and confirm a “turn”), I would need to see prices break 2665 initially.

S&P 500 Futures Trading Chart – April 27

The bounce getting above 2660 was a minor positive but traders are now wrestling with the 2675-77 price area while having pushed up into a key time for time change.  The next couple days will be telling as to whether a reversal comes right away or whether prices can push up into next week before peaking.  Yet, make no mistake, market breadth has shown little to no upward thrust.
