FXStreet notes that the S&P 500 strong recovery continues, but analysts at Credit Suisse continue to look for a high-level consolidation phase to emerge ahead of an eventual move to 3900.
“A strong recovery for the S&P 500 has seen the market remove resistance from the price gap from last Friday morning and the midpoint of the ‘real body’ of the bearish ‘reversal week’ at 3778/87, leaving the market testing what we see as more important resistance at the 3837/50 price gap. With a large bearish “reversal week” in place our bias remains for this to cap for now for a phase of high-level consolidation.”
“Support is seen at 3813 initially, then the price gap from yesterday morning at 3792/73. Below here is needed to reinforce a sideways ranging phase for a fall back to 3726, then more important support, starting at 3694 and stretching down to the low for the year at 3663.”
