Market Bulls Find Themselves Up Against Strong Resistance


The S&P 500 closed unchanged on Wednesday due to a short covering rally, which erased early session losses. The high range close sets the stage for a steady to higher opening on Thursday. Stochastics and the RSI are overbought but remain neutral to bullish signaling that sideways to higher prices are possible near term.

If March extends this month's rally, the 62% retracement level of the 2007-2008 decline crossing at 1155.15 is the next upside target. Closes below the 20 day moving average crossing at 1105.46 are needed to confirm that a short term top has been posted.

First resistance is Tuesday's high crossing at 1128.20
Second resistance is the 62% retracement level of the 2007-2008 decline crossing at 1155.15

First support is the 10 day moving average crossing at 1112.17
Second support is the 20 day moving average crossing at 1105.46
