SP500 – Key resistance level coming at 4180-4200. We are getting close to a positive 20/50dayMA cross-over. Cracking 4200 and staying above would be very positive development. Overall most of the selling peaked a month ago and has been exhausted. There is a lot of cash waiting for a re-test of the lows say in September which may or may not happen. Everyone wants to wait to buy cheap without contemplating the equal risk of the market running higher. At this point I would rely more on fundamental analysis and invest with a longer time frame while keeping a little powder dry.

End of the month buying is standard with the stock market as cash automatically flows into equities. The first week of August will be more telling of the trend.
