Summary:  S&P 500 / US500 cfd and Nasdaq100/USNAS100 cfd are unfolding the correction behaviour following closing below supports
Top and reversal patterns confirmed by Indicators. Further downside should be expected in coming weeks


S&P 500 the Bearish Engulfing top and reversal candle from 27th of July and the RSI and MACD divergence are still in play with the correction currently unfolding after the Index closed below 4,527.

Tuesday the Index bounced off the lower rising trendline and buyers might try to lift the S&P500 back above 4,527.
However, even if they succeed the correction is still in play unless the Index is closing above 4,607

A close below the lower rising trendline is likely to also break below the support at around 4,455, which is likely to lead to a sell-off down to around strong support at around 4,340

RSI divergence is an imbalance in the market that cannot go on forever and will eventually need to be traded out usually by a correction where RSI is closing below 40 threshold (above 60 if the divergence is bullish), but also sometimes by an even higher (lower) indicator level above previous peak
