US500 (SP500) 1 HOUR: 6 days in a row Consolidating around 7800, which has traded 6 days in a row. Last time this happened Was around 7700 (before a breakout to the upside) but 7800 is a more significant level so stay on guard for a directional move when this pattern breaks. Test may come in the reaction to Wed’s CPI. Wide range 7776-7839/45.

US500 (SP500) 4 HOUR: One day wonder? Was this a one day (new record high) wonder? 2 blue AT lines drawn off the record high indicate potential for at least a pause and shift in risk towards a retracement. Low so far has paused above the 50% level. In any case, 7800 is pivotal…back above it would be needed to cool the risk…while below keeps downside at risk.

US500 (SP500) 4 HOUR: Record high on the radar?
The break of an 8-day pattern that has seen 7700 print each day sent a bullish signal that now requires a firm break of 7785 (high 7794) and then see it become support to put the record 7818 high on the radar.
On the downside, keeps a bid pointed at 7800 as long as 7750-55 holds as support.

US500 (SP500) 4 HOUR: Still a retracement?
The forex market is not alone in “living to run stops” as US500 set them off following the break of 7650. Subsequent move back above 7650 followed a pause above 7613 (61.8%) and 7608, which gives hope this is still just a retracement.
Looking ahead, 7650 will be pivotal in setting the tone but to negate the risk, 7700, which has traded 7 days in a row, would need to print again on Friday.

US500 (SP500) 4 HOUR: 7 days in a row
Unable to shake its focus from 7700, which has now printed for the 7th day in a row This leaves it consolidating between a double top at 7727 (on this CFD chart) and a double bottom at 7650 The onus is on the bull side to hold regain 7700+ and/or hold 7650 to maintain the range and prevent putting 7600 on the radar.

US500 (SP500) 4 HOUR: 6 days in a row
Ending the quarter unable to shake a focus from 7700, which traded for the 6th day in a row. Weak close to the quarter, however, puts the risk on the downside where 7650 (tested) needs to hold to keep 7700 on the radar and thoughts away from 7600. Focus in the days ahead will be whether the weak close is month/quarter end driven nor there is more to it (e.g. weight of firmer bond yields).

US500 (SP500) 4 HOUR: Retracing but damage not fatal
Trend: Up but retracing Momentum: Short-term down
Stops run below 7680, as far with limited follow through as this level becomes pivotal in dictating whether momentum can build further. On the downside, as long as trade stays above 7604 damage is not coinsidered fatal. On the upside, back above 7680-00 is needed to cool the threat, back above 7727 to break short-term momentum, above 7747 to reverse..’

US500 (SP500) 4 HOUR: Lifeline
Trend: Up but consolidating/retracing
Momentum: Stalled, short-term down
Getting a lifeline from the dip in U.S. bond yields but for risk to shift back to the upside, a solid move above 7740-50 would be needed.
To keep this as consolidation rather than a further retracement, 7680 (low) needs to hold.

US500 (SP500) 1 HOUR: Reprieve
Trend: Up but consolidating
Momentum: Trying to rebuild up
Getting a reprieve from the dip in U.S. bond yields but for momentum to build off higher lows (red llines) to the upside, a solid move above 7750 would be needed.
To keep this as consolidation rather than a further retracement, 7680 (low) needs to hold.

US500 (SP500) 4 HOUR: Consolidation rather than. retracement?
Trend: Up
Momentum: Consolidating?
Failure to establish 7800= puts US500 on the defensive and dependent on 7716-36 holding to prevent 7698, the level bulls do not want to see broken, come on the radar.
Otherwise, let’s call it consolidation rather than retracement with a limited upside if trade is between 7700-7800.

US500 (SP500) 4 HOUR: At the mercy of a summer Friday
Trend: Major Up
Momentum: UP
At the mercy of summer Friday end to the week trading with some disappointment 7800+ was not sustained.
To keep the focus on 7800, the 1 hour trendline, 7777 and/or former triple top at 7773 need to hold.
7757 needs to hold below it to keep current momentum pointed up and avoid a squeeze on longs.
