  • S&P 500/US500 and Dow Jones/US30 confirmed bearish trend 
  • Nasdaq 100/USNAS100 still holding on above key support

S&P 500 closed Friday below minor support at 5,146 thus confirming the bearish trend. A bearish move to the strong support at around 5,057 is likely.
The strength indicator RSI has been indicating uptrend exhaustion for quite some time and if it is closing below 40 threshold there is downside potential for S&P 500 to around 4,953 short- to medium-term

For S&P 500 to reverse this bearish picture a daily close above 5,265 is required

A daily close above 18,438 will demolish the Bearish Engulfing top and reversal pattern establishing a new bullish trend
