The Technical Take
Indices poised to open beneath resistance as momentum slows
Technical Snapshot Key Takeaways
  • The S&P, Nasdaq, and Dow all moved higher on Wednesday, closing the session near their highs and within their initial overhead resistance ranges. Conversely, the Russell broke through its initial overhead resistance range and closed the session at new all-time highs. The Daily trends on the S&P, Nasdaq, and Dow tentatively remain lower (see notes below for potential termination and continuation points), while the trend on the Russell was shifted higher. Momentum readings across all indices are decelerating as price moves higher, beginning to negatively diverge from price.
  • The Volatility Index (VIX) finished Wednesday's session lower, moving back into and closing just above its initial downside support range from 15.75-15.30. If price continues lower and breaks below 15.30, it will likely test the 14.70-14.12 support range below. A move lower in the VIX would likely align with further buying pressure in equities. Conversely, if price begins moving higher from support, it will likely make its way toward the 21.35-20.40 resistance range above, followed by 23.85-22.80. A move higher in the VIX would likely coincide with renewed selling pressure in equities.
