:) Weekend Stock Market Analysis By Amateur Investors | June 24, 2017
Next Friday will be the end of the 2nd Quarter for the market. If the S&P 500 remains above the 2363 level, which looks pretty likely at this point, then this will be the 7th Quarter in a row with a positive gain. Furthermore this would make 16 out of the last 18 quarters with a positive return as well.
Meanwhile the next area of significant resistance, in the S&P 500, appears to be just above near the 2485 level. This level is the 200% Extension Level calculated from the 2007 high to the 2009 low.
As the market has continued higher volatility remains near all time lows. The VIX continues to exhibit a descending Triangle pattern. Typically this type of pattern is followed by a significant reversal to the upside. Thus one would expect a reversal at some point.
Naturally if the VIX were to reverse to the upside then a correction would follow in the S&P 500. Notice the upward trend line (purple line) and previous resistance area (black line) reside just above the 2100 level. Thus this would be a potential target area if a correction were to develop.
