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
Putting in another higher high off of the April lows, and now clearing this ~5,970 consolidation resistance that we pointed out last week. Our bullish bias remains with price trending over the MAs below, and the major resistance we are monitoring is the ~6,140 pivot above.
Micron Technology, Inc: $MU | daily
Big breakout within this chart recently, back over all major MAs and clearing downtrend resistance. We shared our chart alert with clients on the breakout, and we are currently profitable on our long positions within our Model Portfolio. The initial target we have is ~$115, and then we could see continuation into ~$130.
Silver | daily
Strong follow through for this chart since we shared our bullish bias with clients on the downtrend resistance breakout last month. Clearing a big pivot level here around ~$35, and our bullish bias remains on all timeframes. Longer term, we want to see this hold over ~$35 on any pullback to build over this breakout.
