The S&P 500 Continues to Face Overhead Pressure for the Week

S&P 500 Weekly Technical Analysis

During the week, the S&P 500 attempted to rebound, but ran into enough resistance near the 4500 level to turn things around and show symptoms of weakness. As a result, the market seems to be struggling, and we may be staring at the 4100 level in the near future.

Looking at this chart, it's clear that we have further downward to go, but I believe it's just a matter of time until we break down. The whole Thursday and Friday sessions were a nightmare, and they aren't showing any signs of slowing down. As a result, I anticipate the market will not only retest, but may potentially break below the previous low. 

If we do, I believe the downward acceleration would be rather severe. Keep in mind that Wall Street is just now coming to terms with the possibility that they were mistaken about the Federal Reserve. The Federal Reserve will have to tighten monetary policy forcefully, which will damage everything, including the stock market.

We could make a case for attempting to shift the general structure of the market if we turn around a break above the 4500 level, but right now things seem quite bad, and I believe it's just a matter of time until we see a huge move to the downside. It would be a really bullish move to flip around and knock out the top of the candlestick for this week.
