Medium-term selling pressure but long term bullish

Summary:

  • Medium-term selling pressure is strong, warning of a secondary correction
  • But the primary trend is up and VIX remains low
  • Long-term prospects remain bullish

The S&P 500 continues to encounter resistance at 1880 and bearish divergence on 13-week Twiggs Money warns of medium-term selling pressure. Breakout above 1900 would signal a primary advance, but a secondary correction is more likely. The primary trend, however, remains upward.

VIX below 15 continues to indicate low risk typical of a bull market.

S&P 500 VIX

The Nasdaq 100 displays stronger selling pressure on 13-week Twiggs Money Flow. Respect of resistance at 3600/3650 would be cause for concern, breach of support at 3400 completing a head and shoulders reversal with a target of 3100* at the primary trendline. Recovery above 3750 is unlikely at present, but would offer a target of 4000.

* Target calculation: 3400 + ( 3700 – 3400 ) = 3100
