      S&P 500 Trend<\/strong>: Overall Bearish Sentiment \ud83d\udd34<\/span><\/p>\n

      <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

      \n

      Yesterday, the SP500 opened in the prior day\u2019s value area, just below the 6883-6900 resistance zone. Sellers took control from the start of the morning and pushed price down to the 6771-6777 support zone. Price then moved sideways around this area before the US open. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

      \n

      At the Wall Street open, sellers were even stronger and managed to push price down to the 6715-6720 support zone. Buyers then stepped in to lift price back to the 6815-6830 resistance zone. The index closed around 6820. <\/span><\/p>\n

      <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

      \n

      The scenario is similar to the previous day, with an overall decline in price.
      Volatility was very high yesterday, with VIX spikes above 28, resulting in sharp moves.<\/span><\/p>\n

      <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

      \n

      Today, the SP500 opens in Zone 1, in the middle of the prior day\u2019s value area. Price is following the same pattern as yesterday, with sellers dominating the Asian session. Price tested the 6771-6777 support zone and is now trading between that area and the 6815-6830 resistance zone. <\/span><\/p>\n

      <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

      \n

      Overall sentiment remains bearish, and markets are still under pressure from oil, which reached a high around 78.
      On the options board, we can see that investors are hedging to the downside, with a majority of puts.<\/span><\/p>\n

      <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

      \n

      This afternoon we will have the ADP nonfarm employment report, the non-manufacturing PMI, and crude oil inventories (which will be closely watched).<\/span><\/p>\n

      <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

      \n

      Scenario 1 \ud83d\udfe1: On a rejection at the 6771-6777<\/strong> support zone or at VVAL-1 at 6767<\/strong>, price could consolidate within the value area between 6767<\/strong> and 6850<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

      <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

      \n

      Scenario 2 \ud83d\udd34: On a break of the 6771-6777<\/strong> support and confirmation with a break of VVAL-1 at 6767<\/strong>, price could continue lower and target the 6715-6720<\/strong> area.<\/span><\/p>\n

      <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

      \n

      Scenario 3 \ud83d\udfe2: On a break of VVAH-1 at 6850<\/strong> and confirmation with a break of the 6857-6866<\/strong> resistance zone, price could rebound slightly and target the 6920-6930<\/strong> area.<\/span><\/p>\n
