After 2011's volatile movements in the S&P 500 index, we received a long-term buy signal in mid October basis the June 2012 E-mini S&P 500 contract.
However, the market keeps bumping up against the 1365 to 1370 area and then sells off.
Currently on a long-term basis, the market would need to close below 1321 for a new short signal to occur. There is strong support in the 1337 area.
Our indicators are showing the market entering into an overbought region, but our long-term indicators can remain overbought or oversold for a while before the market finally begins to turn. However, we need to be aware of the area it has entered.
On a long-term basis the market has been holding above our initial targets of 1254 and 1347. If the market continues the rally, the next long-term targets are 1425 to 1440.
On a short-term basis, we received a buy signal on Feb 3th that held until March 5th. On March 9th we received a new short-term buy signal. Currently, if 1334 is taken out, the short-term signal could turn neutral.
The market has held above our initial short-term level of 1339. The next resistance area is 1370 to 1405.
The market is at a turning point of either moving forward or having some consolidation. The next support level of consolidation would be about 1325.
