S&P 500 INDEX MODEL TRADING PLANS for FRI. 4/26/24

The index closed at 4123 two Fridays ago, and, after inflation-concerns related gyrations the index is likely springing back to test that level again. Our trading plans into that week stated: “A daily close below 5170 is needed for the current bullish bias to be negated. This level appears poised to be tested this week sometime, and whether it rebounds from there or not would determine the next leg of the index”. With some whipsaw around this level, the index finally broke below it and tested sub-5000 levels before springing back up.

As of our last trading plan, our models were sporting bearish bias and indicated to stay so while the index is below 5056 on a daily close basis. This level is back in play today, but it takes a daily close above 5116 for our models to turn bullish again. Between 5056 and 5116, our models stay indeterminate.
