S&P 500 is bring rejected at the medium-term falling trendline just a few points shy of the strong resistance at 4,110. This week and especially the end to the week could be crucial for rest of the year. If S&P500 closes above 4,110 there is room for more upside towards 4,200-4,300.
But if S&P500 closes below 3,990 the support at 3,906 is likely to be tested and lower levels below 3,900 towards the end of the year should be expected
RSI break out direction from its narrow slightly rising channel could be a guide for the scenario to play out.
