Stocks hesitant

The S&P 500 found short-term support at 2050, but declining 21-day Twiggs Money Flow indicates medium-term selling pressure. Breach of support would signal a correction to test the band of primary support between 1970 and 2000. Recovery above 2080 is less likely at present, but would indicate another test of 2120.
