Our Momentum Models are declining at this time with the previous high made 2021 while the last low formed on 2023. However, this market has rallied in price with the last cyclical high formed on 2021 and thus we have a divergence warning that this market is starting to run out of strength on the upside.

Looking at the longer-term monthly level, we did see that the market made a high in December 2023 at 26340. After a nine month rally from the previous low of 22785, it made last high in December. Since this last high, the market has corrected for nine months. However, this market is weak retesting important support last month. So far here in March, this market has held above last month's low of 21975 reaching 22710.

Critical support still underlies this market at 22263 and a break of that level on a monthly closing basis would warn that a sustainable decline ahead becomes possible. Immediately, the market is trading within last month's trading range in a neutral position.
