Chart Analysis
On the daily timeframe, SP500: D1 broke down an uptrend support line and a 50-day moving average line. Now it is going down from its historical maximum. A range of technical analysis indicators formed signals for a further decrease. We do not exclude a bearish movement if the SP500 falls below the lower Bollinger line: 3235. This level can be used as an entry point. The initial limitation of the risk is possible below the last upper fractal, historical maximum and the Parabolic signal: 3400. After opening a pending order, we move the stop loss following the Bollinger and Parabolic signals to the next fractal maximum. Thus, we change the potential profit / loss ratio in our favor. After the transaction, the more risk-averse traders can switch to a four-hour chart and set a stop loss, moving it according to the trend. If the price overcomes the stop level (3400) without activating the order (3235), we recommend to close the position: the market sustains internal changes that were not taken into account.
