S&P 500 Futures Technical Analysis – Topping out?

The bears had the better of things yesterday as we sold off from 1134.50 to 1117.50 in European trade. When the day session kicked into life we caught a bid for a while, trading up to 1132.25 before a Shooting Star on many of the shorter term charts (15, 30 and 60 minute) put the kybosh on the bulls fun and gave us a reversal that saw us back 1117.

1117 was a bold support, and is at S2 today as we continue to hold above here. I have now made it my “trend change” level and the level that signals a down-leg in the making.

There are other bold supports to see off if/when 1117 is breached though. 1113.50 is the widely watched (but much maligned by me) 200 day moving average. 1103.50 is the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement of the September rally.
