Technical Analysis Brief
Each week, we review the S&P 500 (in order to provide a consistent, technical narrative for the overall market), as well as a select equity and an asset from the broader market.
S&P 500: $SPX | daily
Closed out last week with some pullback, and now coming into the recent pivot breakout. The 5,960-5,970 pivot and rising 20 day MA are the current short term support levels we are monitoring. If broken, we could see additional selling pressure into the 200 day MA and 5,770-5,790 pivot below. Current resistance is ~6,150.
Palantir Technologies Inc: $PLTR | daily
We shared the chart alert with our clients on the initial ascending triangle breakout last week, and we were able to take a quick ~30% profit in July calls. Seeing relative strength here, considering the pullback we saw within the major indices to close out last week. If we can see this ~$135 breakout hold, then there is room for continuation into our initial $150 target above.
Gold | daily
Breaking out of this consolidation we have been monitoring with our clients. Strength over ~$3,500 gives this chart the next leg higher. We remain bullish Gold on all timeframes.
