Commentary<\/strong>
\nT2108 popped to 29.5% as the S&P 500 staged an impressive comeback from what at first looked like a follow-through to yesterday’s dangerous fade<\/a>. <\/p>\n


\n
\"S&P<\/a>
S&P 500 comes back from a dangerous follow-through to fade from resistance<\/figcaption><\/figure>
\n<\/center><\/p>\n

The VIX, the volatility index, initially popped with the morning’s sell-off but ended up fading back to the critical 21 support level. The VIX even cracked the level before bouncing back into the close. <\/p>\n

So now we have another one of those critical setups for the coming week of trading. A close below 21 on the VIX needs to be quickly followed by a break below its 50DMA, now around 20, before I can get excited. Similarly, the S&P 500 needs to close above resistance at 1334 and then has even stiffer resistance waiting at the declining 50DMA at 1357. I get a little more excited with closes above these resistance levels, ever mindful of T2108 of course. <\/p>\n

For now, T2108 does not help us make any directional assessment. It is important to know that it is bouncing off its second oversold period in the last six weeks or so (short-term bullish), but the technical levels discussed above will loom even more important. The biggest wildcard is Spain which is in the process of asking its eurozone friends for a massive bailout of its banks. Financial markets could soar with relief as if this marks the end of the crisis or markets could tank on fear that this event marks a dangerous new turn in a worsening crisis. As always I am leaving emotions out of it and watching the technical responses. It will still be very important to keep an eye on currency markets for clues. <\/p>\n

The short-term trading bias remains a “hold” until we get resolution one way or another. If T2108 goes back to oversold, I will fret over the 20DMA all over again.<\/p>\n
