SPX S&P 500 30-Minute Chart 8 and 34 MA Cross

A useful very short term (VST) stock market direction indicator is the 8/34 MA cross on the SPX 30-minute chart. The 8 MA crosses down through the 34 MA late Friday signaling bearish markets for the hours and days ahead. However, the prior dips into the bear camp are short-lived. In addition, price and the 8 and 34 MA's are all clustered at 2432-2434 so a pivot on Monday morning in either direction is possible.

The market bulls need to curl the 8 MA back upwards and above the 34 MA to regain their mojo. The bears will be in good shape going forward as long as the 8 MA remains under the 34 MA. This information is for educational and entertainment purposes only.
