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
Strong bounce off of the ~4,800 level that we shared with our clients weeks ago, and now reclaiming this short-mid term pivot resistance around ~5,500. Price remains below some important levels, however: previously broken rising support AND 50/200 day SMAs.
MicroStrategy Incorporated: $MSTR | daily
We shared the chart alert with our clients on the downtrend resistance breakout recently. Since the, we continued to note the importance of this ~$355 pivot resistance level. This closed out the week with a pivot breakout, and there is room for continuation into ~$400 next. This chart continues to pay off for our clients.
WTI Crude Oil: $USOIL | weekly
We noted out bearish bias with clients on the $65-$67 pivot support break weeks ago. This came very close to a retest of that previously broken pivot support last week. For now, our bearish bias remains here — so long as price remains below the pivot above.
