S&P 500 drifts up to 4,181.45 after starting the day at 4,164.66 (up 0.4%)

\\n

(Last update 1:51pm EST, May 5, 2021)

\\n

\\n

After starting the day at 4,164.66, S&P went up to 4,187.72 only to drop back to the half way point range and is now trading at 4,181.45.

\\n

A study of the S&P 500's graph shows key levels to watch: S&P 500 immediate resistance is around 4,186.27, nearest support level is at 3,974. In terms of trend indicators, we can see that although up today, it's worth noting that earlier the S&P 500 dropped below the 10 day Simple Moving Average as it was trading at 4,179.61, usually an indication that a negative trend is ahead. Asset volatility analysis shows that a slight indication of a slowdown comes from looking at the Bollinger bands: the upper band is at 4,220.33 – a high enough level to usually suggest the S&P is trading above its value.

\\n

Overall, looking at the technical analysis landscape, it seems the S&P 500 is likely to reverse course and start pointing down in the short term.

The Aussie/Dollar rallied 35 pips and maintains at 0.7742 level.

An analysis of the Australian dollar chart suggests the Australian dollar is eyeing resistance at 0.7796 and is now only 54 pips away, whilst this indicates a slow down or reverse of direction around 0.7796, crossing it might suggest a prolonged positive move. Asset volatility analysis shows that a slight indication of a slowdown comes from looking at the Bollinger bands: the upper band is at 0.7814 – a high enough level to usually suggest the Australian dollar is trading above its value. In contrast, at 0.7722, Australian dollar made an initial breakout above the 21 day Simple Moving Average, an indication of a positive trend.

\\n

Overall, looking at the technical analysis landscape, it seems a reverse of course in the short term might be next for the Australian dollar.
