S&P 500 futures (US500) are trading lower today. Taking a look at the US500 chart at D1 interval, we can see that while the index has once again managed to bounce off the lower limit of the Overbalance structure at 4,235 pts, bulls lost steam later on after reaching the 200-session moving average (purple line). Index is pulling back from this moving average slightly today and another test of the aforementioned 4,235 pts support cannot be ruled out. In such a scenario, we would see a potential bearish trend reversal according to the Overbalance methodology and deeper decline may be looming. The next support zone in-line to watch can be found in the 4,200 pts area, where the 38.2% retracement of the year-long upward move lies.
