The S&P 500 Has Seen This Pattern BeforeA certain pattern has appeared several times in the S&P 500 over the past year. Now it may have returned. Consider the falling trendline on this daily chart. Notice how the current price action resembles moments like October 2021, March 2022 and May 2022. Each time the index pulled back and stabilized. It then pushed against resistance as the Relative Strength Index (RSI) nudged higher. Each of these instances was followed by breakouts and moves to the upside. Second, the Advance / Decline line has been making higher lows for the last two months. Third, flip to the weekly chart. SPX just completed its first bullish inside candle since July 2020. That’s another potential sign of the bulls seeking control and volatility easing: TradeStation has, for decades, advanced the trading industry, providing access to stocks, options, futures and cryptocurrencies.

Reversal likely to hold up #SPX $SPY $RSP I expect some continuation from this recent rally. The percentage of SPX stocks trading above their 50-day MA is now bouncing from being too far below the lower band of the channel I have defined. Annotated on the chart are the previous times it significantly breached the lower band. MACD histogram turning green with MACD line curling up for a cross. RSI bounced and has some momentum. Next test at 50. Bar some terrible news from Ukraine or Taiwan, we should see some of this momentum carry the market higher. For how long? Unclear. I would like to see $RSP start to outperform $SPY to signify broad strength opposed to a few names carrying the entire index (not sustainable or healthy).

Exxon Pulled Back. Now It’s BouncingEnergy, energy, energy: It’s been the manta of 2022, so let’s take a look at Exxon Mobil. Earlier this month, the oil-and-gas giant hit triple digits for the first time in almost eight years. As noted at the time , prices were extended and a pulled back sharply. And now they’re bouncing. The main pattern on this chart is the falling trendline along the highs during the slide. XOM closed above that resistance Monday and continued its rebound yesterday. Next you have $89.49, a high in April 2019. It offered resistance again in February, but turned into support in May. Interestingly, this was almost exactly the stock’s bottom last week. Third, prices rose after testing the 100-day simple moving average (SMA) for the first time since December. That may indicate the longer-term uptrend remains in effect. Finally, notice how stochastics are turning up after hitting the most oversold condition since last August.
