Sept SP500
Nearby Resistance is at 1192, while sellers should appear near 1197.5 to 1203,
An extended trade over or close over is friendly and augurs for an eventual test of 1217.5 and the 1232 to 1238 region..
That Ole' Copper local who heads the Federal Reserve while cutting rates seven times has kept the ‘presses’ running all night. Thus, increasing money supply this year comparable to 1982.. Corporations, while still being severely punished by the market for their follies of past are becoming lean and mean with rapid re-structuring to ensure profitability in attempts to quell the assault on their existence….
These are seeds bull markets come from….
In addition ..Traders who were buying the highs with reckless abandon in the face of interest rate increases are now generally selling with the same vigor in the face of rate decreases into what may very well be strong hands. (An isolated example of this is evident by the recent announcement of Warren Buffets purchases, purchases he is not likely to exit anytime soon.)
One should not rule out a test of 1253 and eventually the 1274 to 1278 region if it holds.
Aggressive traders should go long if a close over 1217.50 occurs.
Nearby Support should appear near 1180.5 and 1169 to 1164 , which should contain a decline basis the close.. an extended trade under is negative and augurs for a test of 1150 then1136 to 1130 while buyers should appear near the 1101 to 1096 region..
