SPX Rallies Into Resistance: Yellow Light Setup

⚠

Today's Signal

YELLOW LIGHT

As crude collapses and bond yields drop the market has a nice rally this morning. I am giving us the yellow because the futures are right up against the resistance.

Signal by Licia Leslie

GREEN: High probability of the market moving higher.
YELLOW TODAY: Be cautious when making a directional trade.
RED: High likelihood of the market dropping.

The high, first level of resistance, lines up perfectly with the our short term downtrend line. Above there we need to clear 7554.75 to get a real rally going.

Oil is collapsing and yields are falling in response the Iran peace news. We've seen this before too many times, I don't trust it. Watch the resistance levels. We need a clear break over $7554.75 for this downtrend to change.
