The S&P500 surprised me earlier in July when it continued to make new historic highs. I had pegged it to remain in consolidation below the 2015 high at 2134. SPX Daily Chart 8/3(click to enlarge)Mini-top:- The daily chart shows that price came up to about 2175 before stalling.- Price has stalled here for a couple of weeks now. - During the 8/2 session, price fell below the recent range support around 2158.50. - This dip put in a price top and signals a period of consolidation ahead. Warning against chasing:- I think a pending period of consolidation in the market warns us against chasing the bullish surges we saw when earnings came out this week for companies such as ETSY, and AMKR.- Let's see what happens today. If the S&P500 remains under 2160 and falls below 2150, we will have further evidence that a top around 2175 has been set for the short to medium-term.
