Most likely scenario for S&P 500 H4 intra-day price (based on the article)

S&P 500 H4 intra-day price is located above Ichimoku cloud for the bullish breakout which was started in the beginning of this month for example: price broke Ichimoku cloud to above for the bullish reversal.

  • "The S&P 500 opened at a record high on Monday as oil prices rose and after Friday's stellar jobs report suggested strength in the U.S. economy, boosting appetite for risk."

  • "Oil rose 1.8 percent after a report in the Wall Street Journal last week that some OPEC members had called for a freeze in production."

  • "Seven of the 10 major S&P 500 indexes were higher, led by a 0.96 percent rise in the energy sector."

  • "Oil majors Exxon Mobil (XOM.N) and Chevron (CVX.N) rose about 0.6 percent and were the top drivers of the S&P."

The price was bounced from 2,182.50 resistance level to below for the ranging to be started within key narrow support/resistance levels:

  • 2,182.50 resistance level located far about Ichimoku cloud in the bullish area of the chart, and
  • 2,174.75 support level located above Ichimoku cloud in the beginning of the secondary correction to be started.


Bearish reversal level at this timeframe is 2,160.25, and if the price breaks this level to below so the bearish reversal of the intra-day price movement will be started.

Most likely scenario for S&P 500 H4 intra-day price: 2,174.75 level will be broken to below and the correction will be started; if not so the price will be on bullish condition ranging within the levels.

Quick Intra-Day Overview - S&P 500: bullish ranging within narrow levels for direction (adapted from the article)

H4 price is located babove Ichimoku cloud in the bullish area of the chart: price is on ranging within the narrow s/r levels waiting for the bullish trend to be continuing or to the secondary correction to be started.

  • "The S&P 500 pulled back from a top-side trend-line running off the 7/14 peak, and is currently trying to make its way back higher off the 2174/78 support zone. Can the breakout following Friday’s big NFP print hold, or will it fold, leading to a false breakout? It certainly could and it would be consistent with how markets often act coming out of tight ranges like the one we saw to end July into August. A drop back below 2174 confirms a false breakout and a decline back towards the low-end of the range becomes the risk. Should support hold, then so does the market’s current upward bias."
  • If H4 price breaks 2172.75 support level on close bar so the correction will be started.
  • If H4 price breaks 2183.25 resistance level on close bar from below to above so the bullish trend will be continuing.
  • If not so the price will be on bullish ranging within the levels.

Auto sales rose 1.1% in July, representing the strongest result since April. But excluding autos, retail-sales growth slumped 0.3% last month—the weakest reading since January, after a 0.9% gain in the prior month."
  • "Jim O’Sullivan, chief U.S. economist at High Frequency Economics, estimated that "total-real consumption, including services, starting the third quarter up at about a 3% annual rate from the second-quarter average. The net result is still solid growth," O’Sullivan said."
  • "Shepherdson said that the data fit with a 2.5% forecast for third quarter GDP, up from the 1.2% rate in the second quarter."

Sergey Golubev, 2016.08.15 16:19

New daily bar was opened inside Ichimoku cloud which is indicating the ranging market condition for the week. Support/resistance levels are the same ones, for example:

If D1 price breaks 1.1045 support level on close bar together with descending triangle pattern to below so the primary bearish trend will be resumed.
If D1 price breaks 1.1233 resistance level on close bar from below to above so the bullish reversal will be started.
If not so the price will be on bearish ranging within the levels.

  • ranging inside Ichimoku cloud, or
  • 1.1233 resistance level to be broken by the price for the bullish reversal.
