US ISM PMI analysis for September 2020.





















The prices increased to 62.8 (+3.3) because the producers were in an inventory reduction phase (PPI < CPI) which we had discussed before. Furthermore, this also indicated that US inflation would continue unabated.  The new order (60.2, -7.4) declined significantly because of a huge fall in the local new order (-8.4) due to a smaller pandemic relief aid and an increase in personal savings. The inventories had started to increase by 2.7 points and this would signify that there would be increases in production and customers’ inventories eventually. Overall, the PMI had declined slightly to 55.4 which meant that the US was still in an expansionary mode.

S&P 500 Technical analysis. - Part 4

 








http://sg-stock.blogspot.com/2020/09/s-500-technical-analysis-part-3.html

I was asked to give my opinion on the new resistance line.  Here it goes!

The new resistance line will be the previous peak in Feb 2020 and I've drawn the line to show it.  Coincidentally, the S&P also stayed below that new resistance line that I've drawn.  Please bear in mind that the candlestick gap will provide a good support range unless the S&P crashes through the gap.

S&P 500 Technical analysis. - Part 3










Let's continue our S&P 500 technical analysis.

https://rb.gy/ahvyi2

The above chart showed that 2 positive signals had developed prior to the S&P rise.  The candlestick had closed above the 5-day SMA and the stochastic had a bullish crossover.

If there were at least 2 positive signals, we could execute a trade with a calculated risk.

What's going to happen next?

A candlestick gap has occurred and this will provide a support level for the S&P.  As long as the S&P doesn't fall below the gap, the S&P will continue to rise.  Once the gap is breached, we will have to draw new resistance and support levels based on recent high volume days.
