SPX: Selling Arrives After the Warning
I’m away for the weekend with limited connection — but with so much happening, here’s a quick update.
For weeks, you’ve been reading a cautionary tone in these pages.
“Caution is warranted. Don’t overcommit.”
“The market is extended. Manage risk actively.”
“Breadth and internals are flashing early warning signs.”
Now, the selling has arrived — right into a flurry of major catalysts:
Fed decision
Mega‑cap earnings (MSFT, META, AAPL, AMZN)
PCE inflation data
Nonfarm payrolls
Where we are now:
SPX is about 2.5% off the highs, leaning on the 6147 pivot high.
Lose that, and we could see a quick drop into the 5800–5900 zone:
40‑week SMA
Anchored VWAPs
Bollinger Band midline
That’s roughly a -10% correction from the highs. A quick flush through that zone could shake out weak hands, satisfy the “correction” narrative, and set the stage for a recovery.
The tell we were watching for:
The S&P Bullish Percent Index (BPSPX) just flipped Bear Confirmed — the exact breadth signal I’ve been highlighting for weeks as the early caution light. It arrives right in sync with the seasonally weaker month of August.
Next week’s watchlist:
The heavy calendar continues — with earnings from PLTR, AMD, AMGN, MCD, DIS, UBER, LLY, TEAM, and more — plus key economic data:
ISM Non‑Manufacturing PMI
Jobless Claims
UK rate decision
