The S&P index is down for the fourth consecutive day. The index is currently down around -64.85 points or -1.62% to 3933.83. The index is approaching the 100 day moving average at 3929.09.
The price of the S&P broke above the 100 day moving average back on November 10, retested the moving average on November 17 and sniffed the moving average last week before bouncing to the highest level since September 12 on December 1.
A move back below the 100 day moving average would be more bearish in the long term.
The declines over the last four days have seen the price of the S&P move down -4% from its high.
Yesterday, the price fell and closed below its 200 day moving average (green line currently at 4042.33). That failure, disappointed the buyers from last week who entered the market after the first break and close above the 200 day moving average since April 2021. The break help contribute to the bearish tone today
