Chart of the Day
π Todayβs Chart of the Day was shared by Andrew Thrasher (@AndrewThrasher).
- The index closed slightly below its former highs today, which are around 5,250.
- A weekly close below this critical level would confirm a failed breakout. As we know, failed breakouts can get ugly fast.
- Andrew also points out that 14-week RSI has formed a bearish momentum divergence. Price made all-time highs last week, while RSI couldnβt even reach overbought territory (above 70).
The takeaway: The S&P 500 is in a precarious spot. The bulls must reclaim 4,250 tomorrow to avoid a failed breakout while breadth and momentum are diverging.
