The stock market looks bullish here from a historical standpoint. The S&P 500 (SPY) is currently overbought so some consolidation here shouldn’t be surprising.
Let’s see if the S&P 500 follows through and continues this trend.
Below are 12 bullish signs from the S&P 500 chart below.
1. Bullish gap up on Wednesday help support at the low of they day for the rest of the week.
2. $SPY price is above all key moving averages showing an uptrend.
3. The MACD almost has a bullish crossover.
4. The Slow Stochastics has a bullish cross and is showing momentum.
5. The ATR has begun to decline again. This is bullish
6. Good volume on up days in past weeks.
7. 78 RSI gives $SPY price more room to run before it is overbought. It would be better for the market to go up slowly and build a price base.
8. The $SPY trend is on track for a 50 day/200 day golden cross in coming weeks.
9. We could find key short term support at $207.14, the old resistance level.
10. Gap fill danger back to $206.25. Price should find support there if it back fills.
11. All time highs are back in play now with this momentum.
12. The early plunge and correction in 2016 relieved a lot of selling pressure off the double bottom and the odds are we go higher here.
