continues to stay in its triangle and range once again failing to break above 156.25 and the downtrend of the triangle pattern. Intra-day and short-term SPY is finding support between 155.20 and 155.00. If this level breaks it could be an early warning sign for more bearishness. But really the important level to watch is 156.25, the last three days this level has stopped the market cold in its tracks and what is has done is formed an intra-day ascending triangle pattern with the top of this pattern at 156.25. A break above this level and SPY can go higher with a measured move to 158sh. This would fit with the 7 day up and 2% down historical trend. Of course if SPY breaks below the 155 level this is off and it is a breakdown of the triangle pattern.
- Key Levels to Watch:
- Resistance: 156.65, 154.67
- Support: 154.35, 154.20, 152.90
