In the chart above, we overlay a RAFF Regression Channel (the three parallel uptrending blue lines) over the S&P 500 from 2005 to the present. The Raff Regression Channel shows the general trading range of the S&P 500 and it shows a clear three year uptrend. However, it is clear that the S&P 500 has gone below the three year uptrending Raff Regression Channel showing that the uptrend is over.
Other Negatives:
- The 200 Day Moving Average has gone down below the 50 Day Moving Average (The "Death Cross").
- The S&P 500 is below both the 50 day and 200 day moving average.
- The S&P 500 has gone below a three year trend line (the red line in the chart above)
Typically, what was once support now becomes resistance on the upside.
Re-Test 1270 Lows on S&P 500
Because V-shaped recoveries are not common, we continue to expect the S&P 500 to re-test the lows of 1270. The S&P 500 could bounce and possibly re-test a third time. Or, the S&P 500 could continue to breakdown.
We need time to determine whether we will have a sideways, but volatile trading range bound market, or whether we could establish a new downward trend or an uptrend after a lengthy bottoming process with enough successful re-tests.
