S&P 500 Outlook: The weekly chart looks positive. More upside potential with a continuation of the long term uptrend has a high probability. Only a drop below the March high at 3 983 could turn the positive weekly chart picture to neutral. Prices below the February’20 high could turn the positive outlook of the weekly chart to negative. A break of close support levels could be interpreted as a warning signal.

Resistance Levels: 4 723.50 (All time high)
Support Levels: 3 983 | 3 587 | 3 397

S&P 500 outlook: We expect S&P 500 to continue the long term uptrend. The quarterly chart looks positive, especially because the high of the previous candle could be overcome.

Very important is the February high at 3 397.50 which is key support. As long as the market is trading above this level, the outlook and bigger picture remains positive. Prices below 3 753 would worsen the chart picture and turn the bullish outlook to neutral or negative.
