SPX 30-Minute Chart

The 8 MA crossed above the 34 MA at 12:30 PM EST yesterday signaling that the bulls were in control for the hours perhaps a few days ahead. This ended the bear move that started the last couple days of May. Keep watching, however, since if Europe lays an egg, the 8 MA can turn tail and stab down thru the 34 MA once again.  The positive divergence on Monday bounced price from the 1268 bottom. An upward-sloping channel is in place and by the looks of the futures, the 1296-1297 top rail may be tagged at the open.

Note the indicators over the last few hours (each price candle represents 30 minutes of trading) which are long and strong except for the MACD histogram that is negatively diverged. Watch to see negative divergence forming more universally with the indicators to signal a spank down. For now, it appears a short-the-rallies path is prudent. The thin black lines show important S/R at 1314, 1312, 1307, 1296, 1295, 1292, 1287, 1285, 1278, 1277 and 1268. The 1295-1297 area is important since that would signal a much stronger push higher. Keep an eye on the 8 and 34 MA cross.  This information is for educational and entertainment purposes only.
