Negative divergences and overbought conditions of technical indicators in last week's post on the daily bar chart pattern of S&P 500 had hinted at a pause in the bull rally.
The index consolidated within a narrow range last week - touching a low of 2159 on Tue. July 19 and a new high of 2176 the following day - gaining just 8 points on a weekly closing basis.

Some more consolidation - or a correction - is likely. Booking part profits may be a good idea.
