S&P 500 Trading Outlook: Market Weakening But No Signs of Selloff Yet

S&P 500 Trading Outlook (3-5 Days):  Neutral

No change here. There is some minor evidence of stalling out, though I would need to see more weakness to lean short.

Market breadth is flat and Demark exhaustion has been completed. So for those wishing to pick a spot to sell into this uptrend, we seem to be close yet again to a good risk/reward area.

A Move UNDER 2764 on a close is a sell signal, and should drive prices down initially to 2729-2731.

S&P 500 Trading Chart

The broad stock market index is seeing momentum slow and breadth weaken. However, as I mentioned, it’s a MUST to get down under last week’s lows of 2764 to signal any real damage.

For now, this chart (below) shows insufficient weakness to expect any real pullback just yet. A move above 2798 would allow for a push back to new highs. So bears still need to see some evidence of price turning down.
