S&P 500 Rolling Over?It it still whether we're heading into an equity bear market, but there are some uncomfortable similarities between the current rolling over of the MACD with how it behaved during the last two bear markets. It is only one indicator, and there are many other factors at play. But, typically markets do not peak with a sudden drop in equity prices (see the equity drop in 2011). Rather, they turn much like the arc of a large ship with failed retests of an uptrend. The momentum gradually comes out of the uptrend while prices continue to plough upward. That divergence has been occurring on the monthly chart for the past year. If we do get a downturn, given where the momentum indicators are in their cycle, there is still considerable downside ahead of us. 1600 on the S&P 500 would be the first target.

No End to Bearish News for the S&PYesterday, Janet Yellen of the Federal Reserve spoke confirming expectations that the Fed would sit tight on interest rates. She even admitted today that the Fed is considering negative interest rates. Her ominous tone did not bode well for the markets as evinced by the abysmal market opening today here in the US. In fact, the world's markets are rearing from this glut. As for the technicals, we have a bearish Aroon crossover, with the ADX signifying a solid negative trend. Additionally the MACD has crossed over into negative territory, yet the RSI indicates we are not yet oversold. Also note the bearish head and shoulders pattern which suggests we have a way to go before the bulls return. Consider any rallies due to short covering at this point. Fade into any uptrends, for they will be short lived.

S&P Solidly BearishAny hopes for a recovery this week were quashed by today's open and marked declines henceforth. There really doesn't seem to be any indication of a turnaround, unless some good data comes out this week, and there is quite a bit to anticipate. As the attached article notes, analysts are cutting their expectations for the S&P, and it would be good advice to any investor heed this warning and do the same. The head and shoulders pattern drawn here indicates a bearish trend, and today's open confirms this. Its a bit oversold at present (although the RSI does not confirm this, yet), but any rally should be a good point at which to enter a short trade, or exit a failing long position, thus easing the sting a bit. As for the technicals, the MACD histogram is still in positive territory but its hanging by a thread and looking to cross soon. The OBV indicates a lot of selling pressure, and ADX indicator is distinctly bearish, and the difference between the up and down components are widening further, despite a recent apparently bullish Aroon crossover.
