S&P 500 Index Potential Downtrend

Short
OANDA:SPX500USD   S&P 500 Index
On September 21 S&P 500 Index broke below the ascending channel, which could have been the first stong bearish signal. Price has reached 3208 low and corrected up strongly. On the correction, the S&P 500 Index tested 3550 high where it cleanly rejected the 88.6% Fibonacci retracement level.

Perhaps this was the very top of that pullback, from which price might continue the decline. This could be either a small move to the downside or a beginning of a massive price collapse, similar to the one that occurred at the beginning of this year.

Being conservative, the price could drop towards 3200 psychological support to produce a double bottom. This level corresponds to 55.6% Fibs applied to the June downside correction down, where 61.8% Fibs was rejected. It also corresponds to the already established supply/demand zone, which once again could be acting as strong support.

But if the S&P 500 Index will manage to slice through the 3200 level, selling pressure is likely to increase further. In this case, this might be a confirmation of a long-term downtrend. In regards to the upside risk, only a daily break and close above 3550 will invalidate the bearish scenario and the price is likely to continue printing all-time highs.

Key support levels: 3410, 3200
Key resistance levels: 3440, 3550
