The S&P 500 is advancing on the weekly chart toward another test of 1420, but falling momentum warns of a primary down-trend. Reversal of 63-day Twiggs Momentum below zero would indicate a primary decline. Failure of primary support at 1270 would confirm, offering a target of 1170*. In the shorter term, recovery above 1370 would indicate a test of 1420. Breakout above 1420 is unlikely at this stage — especially with money flowing into bonds.
* Target calculation: 1270 – ( 1370 – 1270 ) = 1170
