4440 and the recent low of 4365 are short-term supports

“S&P 500 is heading towards a potential hurdle of 4540 representing a trend line connecting peaks of September 2020, April / May 2021.” 

“It is worth noting that daily MACD has been posting negative divergence since April denoting deteriorating upside momentum.” 

“Test and rejection of above line near 4540 could result in a pullback. This is not a reversal signal, however, temporary exhaustion can’t be ruled out.” 

“4440 and the recent low of 4365 will be short-term supports.”
