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
Perfectly timed bounce off of the 5,770-5,790 pivot level that we highlighted last week, now consolidating between a couple pivot levels short term. Our overall bullish bias remains — noted at the April lows (long term support test). The big levels we are monitoring on any pullback are the MAs below — if price begins to slip below all MAs, we may adjust to a risk-off approach.
Walmart Inc: $WMT | daily
One of our Premium Watchlist setups for clients. Clearing downtrend resistance as of Friday’s close, but strength over ~$100 could open up this chart for a move into $105+.
Solana | daily
We have been noting the ~$180 resistance with our clients (pivot + 200 day MA resistance). Strong rejection off of that level, and this chart has seen a quick 15%+ pullback. Slipping below the 50 day MA here, but testing some pivot support around $150-$154. There is some risk/reward for a bounce here, but weakness below $150 could bring in additional selling pressure.
