S&P500 Index Weekly Chart
Larger Image

The weekly SPX touched long term (red) channel resistance at the 5/22/13 All time High

The rallies since the 3/6/09 Low has been 44-50 weeks long, the most recent one was 50 weeks long from the 6/4/12L to the 5/22/13H. We rallied right into double channel & Down trend line resistance, suggesting a pullback is due. A break above this resistance is bullish short term. The 10/4/11L-6/4/12L (cyan) Up channel support is at 1500-25 SPX in the coming weeks and should be important support in any market decline in the coming weeks. A solid decline and close below 1500 SPX is very bearish.
