SPX 500 Technical Analysis: Trying to Break Monthly Uptrend

Talking Points:

The SPX 500 is digesting losses having probed below support guiding prices higher over the past month. A breach of trend line support at 2077.80 exposes the 61.8% Fibonacci expansion at 2072.90. Alternatively, a daily close back above the 50% level at 2081.20 clears the way for a challenge of the 38.2% Fib at 2089.40.
