Fugly week for the bulls as Wednesday was the shot across the bow day when the $SPX cut through with ease many moving averages I watch including the 20 SMA and the 13 EMA. Thursday broke the uptrend support and had the most volume since early August confirming Wednesday’s breach. Bulls definitely have their work cut out for them next week, barring a “surprise” from across the pond over the weekend anyway.

Seems that the overnight volatility in the markets is keeping many out, including myself, so it would make sense that once Europe is off the table we could see volatility come in. However, Friday’s price action did little more than work off some short-term oversold indicators which could allow for a solid breach of 1120 early next week. Most economic reports are towards the front of the week so potential catalyst are there. Enjoy the links and your weekend!
