S&P still trading within the downward wedge near the 3900. A move above 3900 would be bullish, but price must clear the Jun 27th pivot and the 55 ema for bullish continuation. Here are a few points to consider going into next this week.
• Current bias BEARISH ==> Neutral
• Coming off a 1.93% rally into the 3900 level.
• Trading above 9/21 ema cloud
• Top of downward wedge and 55 ema are now upside targets
• Yields have been dropping along with oil. Many talking peak inflation
• Inflation coming down, but recession worries still top of mind
• Week ahead is data heavy with CPI & PPI data released
• Earnings season begins again with reports from the big US banks
• Rally last week can not be trusted until we see daily close above the June 27/28th pivot.
• S&P may still need to re-test the 21 ema before going higher
• Indexes are attempting to base but no confirmation of a new uptrend yet.
