Daily Technical Analysis

The main trend is up according to the daily swing chart. The uptrend was reaffirmed on Tuesday after buyers took out the last main bottom at 26292. A trade through 25897 will change the main trend to down.

Daily Technical Forecast

Bullish Scenario

If the upside momentum continues then look for a breakout over the intraday high at 26550. If this move creates enough upside momentum then look for a potential rally into the April 23 main top at 26710. This is the last potential resistance level before the October 3, 2018 main top at 27031.

Bearish Scenario

If investors start to square positions or take profits ahead of Wednesday’s Fed announcements then look for a potential pullback into the short-term uptrending Gann angle at 26281. If this fails then we could see an extension of the selling into a pair of uptrending Gann angles at 26089 and 25993.
