Chart of the Day
Todayβs Chart of the Day was shared by John Roque (@daChartLife). The S&P 500 appears to be resolving lower out of a narrowing pattern, as it violated the lower bounds of the pattern today. This pattern suggested that pressure was building for a large move, or trend, in either direction. John points out that todayβs action opens the door for a -4.5% drop to support at 4,200. It would make a lot of sense to revisit 4,200, or βThe Mendoza Line,β as John calls it. 4,200 coincides with the 200-day moving average, and itβs come into play numerous times over the past two years. Remember, weβre in the midst of what has historically been the worst two weeks of the year for the S&P 500.
Quote of the Day
