 We saw another nice rally last week bringing the SPX up to the next potential resistance level around 4200. Could now eventually move up to the 4300 level, the Aug high, or stall in this area after a big run.  The long term weekly ' downtrend ' from the January 2022 high continues in the SPX  (weekly 20MA line) .  Tho price finally broke above that downtrend line for a 2nd week .   Less  likely now, but this weekly trend could also eventually take us down to the pre-Covid highs of early 2020!  The DOW & the Small-caps have already touched that level and rallied back up (see pics below).
