The major indices have a moderate down day – What's next for S&P 500?

Recap July 26 -  The S&P opened with a 14 handle gap down and then continued another 38 handles lower into a 12:01 PM low.  From that low, the S&P rallied 19 handles into a 1:12 PM high. From that high the S&P declined 23 handles into a 3:08 PM low of the day.  From that low, the S&P bounce 9 handles into the close. 

Chart

7/26 – The major indices had a moderate down day to finish with the following closes: DJIA - 228.50; S&P 500 - 45.79; & the Nasdaq Comp. - 220.09. 

Looking Ahead – Tuesday had a moderate decline for most of the day.  However, in overnight trading the market has rallied enough to wipe out most or all of Tuesday’s decline. This in combination with Wednesday being a Fed day says to me, Wednesday looks like a good time to take the day the day off.  The next major change in trend window is for a three 3 way cluster coming on 7/28 PM – 7/28 AC. Please see details below.

The Now Index has moved back to the NEUTRAL ZONE.

Editor's Picks

EUR/USD flirts with daily highs, retargets 1.1900

EUR/USD regains upside traction, returning to the 1.1880 zone and refocusing its attention to the key 1.1900 barrier. The pair’s slight gains comes against the backdrop of a humble decline in the US Dollar as investors continue to assess the latest US CPI readings and the potential Fed’s rate path.

GBP/USD remains well bid around 1.3650

GBP/USD maintains its upside momentum in place, hovering around daily highs near 1.3650 and setting aside part of the recent three-day drop. Cable’s improved sentiment comes on the back of the Greenback’s  irresolute price action, while recent hawkish comments from the BoE’s Pill also collaborate with the uptick.

Gold clings to gains just above $5,000/oz

Gold is reclaiming part of the ground lost on Wednesday’s marked decline, as bargain-hunters keep piling up and lifting prices past the key $5,000 per troy ounce. The precious metal’s move higher is also underpinned by the slight pullback in the US Dollar and declining US Treasury yields across the curve.

Crypto Today: Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP in choppy price action, weighed down by falling institutional interest 

Bitcoin's upside remains largely constrained amid weak technicals and declining institutional interest. Ethereum trades sideways above $1,900 support with the upside capped below $2,000 amid ETF outflows.

Week ahead – Data blitz, Fed Minutes and RBNZ decision in the spotlight

US GDP and PCE inflation are main highlights, plus the Fed minutes. UK and Japan have busy calendars too with focus on CPI. Flash PMIs for February will also be doing the rounds. RBNZ meets, is unlikely to follow RBA’s hawkish path.

Ripple Price Forecast: XRP potential bottom could be in sight

Ripple edges up above the intraday low of $1.35 at the time of writing on Friday amid mixed price actions across the crypto market. The remittance token failed to hold support at $1.40 the previous day, reflecting risk-off sentiment amid a decline in retail and institutional sentiment.
