Technical Outlook: In my last S&P 500 technical outlook we warned that the,“S&P 500 remains at risk for further losses on a break of downtrend support here. From a trading standpoint, rallies should be capped by 4309 IF price is heading lower on this stretch with a close below the median-line keeping the focus on 3924.” The index broke lower the following day with price taking out the 3924support target before rebounding more than 6%- a two-day sell-off has erased the entire advance with price now back at the lows near 3860.

Notes: A closer look at SPX500 price action shows the index trading within the confines of an embedded descending channel formation. Initial resistance now eyed at the median-line (currently ~4000) backed by the May opening-range lows at 4062.Near-term bearish invalidation now lowered to the May 2021 low-day close / March low at 4117/37. A break lower from here would expose subsequent support objectives at the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement of the 2020 advance at 3812, the 2021 yearly open at 3734 and the 2021 low at 3664.

Bottom line: The S&P 500 remains vulnerable to further losses but we're on the lookout for possible downside exhaustion into the lower parallels in the days ahead. From a trading standpoint, rallies should be capped by 4062 IF the index is heading lower on this stretch with a break lower from here keeping the focus objectives into the 2021 lows. Expect volatility here and stay nimble into the close of the week - be on the lookout for a near-term washout on a move lower- stay tuned! I'll publish and updated S&P 500 Weekly Technical Forecast once we get further clarity on the longer-term SPX 500 technical trade levels.

• Short positions are 14.36% lower than yesterday and 8.30% higher from last week
• We typically take a contrarian view to crowd sentiment, and the fact traders are net-long suggests US 500 prices may continue to fall. Traders are more net-long than yesterday but less net-long from last week. The combination of current positioning and recent changes gives us a further mixed S&P 500 trading bias from a sentiment standpoint.
