Markets Coiling
Markets staged a recovery after bears were unsuccessful in pushing follow through selling after a break of intraday support in morning trading. However, markets are approaching a decision point where declining resistance on the daily converges with rising support. The S&P offers the classic coiling play. Add to this the presence of the 20-day and 50-day MAs within the coil, with the 200-day MA just below, suggests the next break could set the tone into September. Technicals are mixed with momentum at bullish support, but 'sell' triggers in the MACD, On-Balance-Volume and +DI/-DI.
