The SP500 broke out to the down shifting into a BEAR TREND ACCELERATION technical state. If the negative signal is going to follow through the Index will not do much if any trading above the 1173.75 Inflection Pivot.
This is the price point which will determine today's bias. Below here the pressure stays on high targeting 1156.50 and 1146.50 on any new weakness. Use caution. Although reactions are expected this sell off does have the potential to flush down to 1131.50.
A held trade above 1173.75 takes the edge off for a difficult trade up to 1183. If the MKT is going to fall back into a soft sideways trade any show of strength will fizzle here. If not a play for the 1202-1199 resistance band is the outlook. Expect no follow through.
Note: The MKT produced a major negative technical signal which should at least produce a new move low. If not it is an underlying sign of strength that will foreshadow a resumption of the underlying positive momentum targeting 1225.
