Last week’s bearish price action caused the main stock market indexes to plunge through major levels of technical price support, including key moving averages and prior “swing lows.” Now, those technical levels of prior price support will act as the new levels of price resistance on any rally attempt. This is because the most basic tenet of technical analysis is that a prior level of support always becomes the new level of resistance, after support is broken (and vice versa).
Since last week concluded with a modest rally attempt on November 9, it may have been the start of a significant counter-trend bounce. However, with an abundance of overhead supply now in the broad market, it would not be long before benchmark indexes such as the S&P 500 (SPX) and Nasdaq Composite (COMPQ) start running into new overhead resistance levels that could easily stall any decent rally attempt.
In the 3-minute stock trading strategy video below, we use simple and objective technical analysis to highlight pivotal price levels where both the S&P and Nasdaq could run out of gas in the near-term if stocks start bouncing higher in the coming week.
