This condition suggests prices have a higher probability of reaching new highs and the weekly high of 2872 on 1/26/18 was not the termination point for the long-term uptrend. No change as of 6/20/18. SPX Weekly Cycle and Phase: Our analysis suggests the SPX Weekly Cycle (which started in early February projects out through around mid-July) is very late in the peaking phase. At this juncture penetrating and closing below 2735 would suggest the SPX is entering the declining phase and then bottoming phase of the weekly cycle. A modest pullback would likely bring the SPX to 2725-2700. A more aggressive declining and bottoming phasing process would likely see the SPX test 2650-2625. A close above 2802 would shift the SPX’s overall weekly cycle configuration to positive. A positive weekly configuration would suggest that the SPX during the next weekly cycle is likely to eclipse the high of this current weekly cycle. Updated 6/20/18 SPX Daily Cycle and Phase: Our current SPX daily cycle analysis work suggests the SPX continues to be strongly influenced by the NDX and RUT daily cycles. We are watching for the SPX in the next several days to peak and rollover into the declining phase of the daily cycle.

askSlim Annotated – SPX WEEKLY CHART
Resistance Zones:
Unlike the NDX and RUT the SPX is dealing with multiple layers of previous price level resistance. We are watching 2775-2783 as a near-term resistance zone. A breakout above 2775-2783 should quickly bring a test of our current weekly cycle high of 2791 (June 13). Above 2791 opens the door to key intermediate resistance at 2802-2810. A push above this resistance zone near would suggest an upside breakout attempt is underway to challenge the January 2018 highs (2840-2872).
Currently we are watching 2763-2751 as a near-term support zone. A break of this near-term support zone would suggest a retest of a key minor support zone at 2747-2733.
askSlim Annotated – NDX WEEKLY CHART –
Resistance Zones:
With no price level resistance beyond today’s new all-time high at 7309.99 – we continue to look to our Fib extension and projection tools to help establish the next possible resistance zones. We are watching 7325-7390 then 7430-7450 as key Fib extension/projection resistance zones.
We are currently watching 7250-7200 as a near-term support level. A break of near-term support would suggest a test of a short-term minor support zone from 7138-7100. A break of minor support suggests a test of 7015-6965.
askSlim Annotated – RUT WEEKLY CHART
The RUT once again is in blue sky territory.We are watching near 1725 as a likely Fib extension/projection resistance level that could serve as a reversal area.
We are currently watching 1698-1688 as a near-term support level. A break of near-term support would suggest a test of a short-term support zone from 1672-1660.
