Can the S&P 500 break major resistance?
S&P 500 Index 6 Month Candlestick Chart
The technical indicators in the above chart point to the index having a good chance to break major resistance which was the April, 2012 high. This will be a major test for the S&P 500 and the bears are waiting for any signs of capitulation. The only negative is the relatively light volume which is typical for the summer months. But, at least the volume has increased over the last three trading days. Take your signals from the market action and trade accordingly.
