S&P 500 index chart
The daily bar chart pattern of S&P 500 crossed above its 50 day EMA and touched a high of 1963 on Feb 26 '16, but formed a small 'reversal day' pattern that can end the rally from the Feb 11 low of 1810.
By moving above the Feb 1 top of 1947, the index has met the first technical condition of a 'double bottom' reversal pattern. However, falling volumes raises questions about the sustainability of the rally from the low of Feb 11.
Daily technical indicators are looking bullish. MACD is rising above its signal line and entered positive zone. RSI is above its 50% level, but moving sideways and not showing much upward momentum. Slow stochastic is well inside its overbought zone.
The index gained 1.6% on a weekly closing basis, but is trading below its sliding 200 day EMA in bear territory. Expect sellers to come to the fore soon.
On longer term weekly chart (not shown), the index closed 130 points above its 200 week EMA, but below its falling 20 week and 50 week EMAs for the 8th week in a row. The long-term bull market is still intact. Weekly technical indicators are in bearish zones and showing some upward momentum.
