SPX 2-Hour Chart

The 2-hour chart receives the spank down from the overbot conditions, rising wedge and neggie d (red lines). Note how price has already violated the lower standard deviation band (pink) so a move back up to the middle band, which is also the 20-day MA, at 2067 is in play. The brown circles show the prior time that price violated the lower band; it led to a move back to the middle band and all the way back up to a hair from the upper band. If price recovers that would form a right shoulder for the neon blue potential H&S pattern. The H&S pattern would target down to the support at 2005-ish. There are gaps that will need filling down below current levels.

The stochastics are positively diverged helping to create the intraday bounce. The MACD and ROC, however, remain weak and bleak hinting at another test of today's lows ahead. The SPX 1-hour chart also shows the MACD line continuing to slope downward.
