SPX S&P 500 Suport, Resistance (S/R), Moving Averages and Other Key Levels for Trading the Week of 10/22/18

SPX (S&P 500) support, resistance (S/R), moving averages and other important levels are provided for trading the week of 10/22/18. Levels shown in bold are strong resistance and support. Bold and underlined levels are very strong and important S/R.

The all-time record high print for the S&P 500 is 2940.91 on 9/24/18 and the all-time closing high is 2930.75 on 9/20/18. The Power and Glory of the global central bankers is impressive. They are modern-day Money God’s. The BOJ and ECB continue printing money like madmen. Ditto the PBOC that plans to step-up their market-pumping efforts. The Fed maintains low interest rates since inflation is Godot. The easy money pumps all asset classes higher for the last decade including stocks, bonds, real estate, art, collectibles, cars, vineyards, etc… We truly live in a new Gilded Age.

The SPX all-time record intraday low is 666.79 (the infamous 666) on 3/6/09 and all-time closing low is 676.53 on 3/9/09.

For 2018, the intraday high is 2940.91 and closing high is 2930.75. For 2018, the intraday low is 2532.69 on 2/9/18 and the closing low for this year thus far is at 2581.00 on 2/8/18. It would be interesting if the bear levels were tested by year end.

The SPX monthly chart displays negative divergence across all its key indicators (RSI, MACD, histogram, stochastics, money flow) as price prints matching highs in October signaling that a long-term top has printed a la the October 2007 top.

The full moon peaks for the month early Wednesday morning US East Coast time. Stocks are typically bullish through the full moon each month so the bulls may have control of equities from Tuesday afternoon into Wednesday. Earthquake activity will likely increase in the days ahead since the Earth and Moon will be at a key gravitational inflection point mid-week.

The S&P 500 begins the week at 2768 smack-dab on top of the 200-day MA support/resistance at 2768. In addition, the 150-day MA is at 2775. The 10-month MA is 2765. The 50-week MA is 2747. The 12-month MA is 2747. The 2764 price level is strong support from the list below and the 2776 is very strong overhead resistance. Gathering up three of the moving averages and the two key S/R levels yields a key range of 2764-2776. This gauntlet is uber important. The S&P 500 sits inside this gauntlet and is deciding which way to break. The direction will be key and determine the winner and loser ahead.

The 10-month MA at 2765 is very important and price did not close below here on Friday which gives the bull's a tiny feather for their caps. The stock market will deteriorate if the 10-mth MA is lost. On the downside, if 2764-2765 fails, serious trouble begins. Price will immediately test the Friday LOD at 2760. If that fails, the next stop is the strong support at 2753. If that fails, it is game-on for a battle at the key 2743-2749 support gauntlet. This is the last chance range for the bulls to hold back the bears. Below 2743, is carnage, destruction, mayhem and big-time stock market losses. Armageddon occurs going forward for many months and perhaps a year or two or more if the 2743 level fails.

On the bull side, price needs to use the 200-day MA at 2768 as a springboard and pop up to the 2774-2776 resistance. If the bulls can poke up through 2776 and hold the breakout, price will jump to 2780 and then 2786-2789. If the bulls begin a strong relief rally, think about where the month began at 2914 as the month ends on Wednesday, 10/31/18.

The strongest support/resistance for the SPX (S&P 500) is 2786-2789, 2780, 2764-2776, 2760, 2753, 2743-2749. All hope is lost for the stock market below 2743. The table is set and the festivities are about to begin.
