New Support Levels for the S&P500 are Holding

I show two support Levels for the S&P500 on the graph below.

#1 200-day-moving-average MA(200) was solid resistance not penetrated since May 2008. Now it is support that has been tested several times from above before the last rally.

#2 The dashed green line on the chart is the neckline of an inverted head and shoulders bottom pattern. One shoulder is "somewhat hidden" as only some components of the S&P500 were weak while others were quite strong. The pattern broke out in May and has successfully tested the neckline from above. All we need now is a rally with volume to feel very bullish.

If you have trouble seeing the inverted head and shoulder's bottom, perhaps this chart of FedEx (more FDX Charts) will make it easier.

Did your current investment newsletter tell you to use cash raised when the markets were near their highs to buy a blue chip DOW stock when the markets were at their lowest levels in 13 years?

Mine did! When the markets made a 13 year low, I had cash in the portfolio and told my subscribers to use some of it to buy some General Electric (GE Charts) shares at $6.76.
