S&P 500 - Mar 2011 Technical Forecast - Update 2


Mar 16, 2011 S&P 500 closed today at 1256.88 which is down by 5.30% from month to date that is compared to close of Feb 28, 2011 - 1327.22


As expected per my earlier update, SP 500 closed today well below its 50 days moving average of 1294.66 but above its 200 days EMA of 1210.29.


Let's look the S&P technical levels. S&P will eventually go down and test 200 days EMA of 1210, before making a significant rally.


If S&P 500 touches its 200 days EMA of 1210.20, day traders can take long positions with protective put option or with stop loss orders. As S&P 500 will enjoy significant bounce from that point.


Currently S&P is in range bound trading between 50 days and 200 days EMA. Once 200 days EMA is broken reliable, then S&P will have a free fall to its next strong support level of 1022.58 set on July 2nd 2010.
