Here are the levels going into the trading week of Aug 29 to Sept 2nd. Below are a few points I am considering.
• My bias going into this week is now Bearish
• S&P dropped sharply on Friday last week. It had a 173-point range and finished down 4.06%.
• Price has dropped back below the 9/21/55 emas
• Price is back below the Neutral zone. (Below HTF 382 Fib RT)
• 1st support at the LTF 50 Fib RT (3970) & ascending trendline at 3900
• Bears now in control
• Currently in a seasonally weak period of the year.
• Sentiment is very bearish. Bad news treated as bad. Good news treated as not good enough.
• VIX has spiked from below 20 to above 25.
• Non-Farm Payrolls on Friday potential market mover
