Interesting Charts

Early signs of start of at least a short term correction in U.S. equity markets have appeared. Interesting technical action by the S&P 500 Index yesterday! According to Mark Leibovit, “We’re experiencing a ‘Key Reversal Day’ today – higher high, followed by a lower low (as compared to the previous trading session in both cases) accompanied by a slight increase in volume. Not a good sign”. The reversal comes at a critical time. The S&P 500 Index briefly broke above its four year high at 1,422.38, but was not able to attract buying interest.
