S&P 500 index chart pattern
The daily bar chart pattern of S&P 500 crossed above the Fibonacci resistance zone between 2640 and 2710 (marked by grey rectangle - refer last week's post) on Mon. Feb 4, and continued its climb along the upper Bollinger Band the next day.
Strong resistance from the 200 day SMA halted further progress of the rally. The index dropped back inside the resistance zone - closing flat for the week.
As long as the index remains above its 20 day SMA (middle band - marked by green dotted line), bulls will endeavour to charge past the 200 day SMA.
Daily technical indicators are correcting overbought conditions, but remain in bullsih zones. MACD and RSI are moving down after facing resistances from the edges of their respective overbought zones. Slow stochastic is about to drop from its overbought zone.
Some more correction or consolidation around current level is likely.

Weekly MACD has crossed above its signal line in bearish zone. RSI is moving sideways along its 50% level. Slow stochastic is rising towards its overbought zone.
