Looking at the S&P 500 CFD on a 30 minute chart, the index turned down on September 3rd after price broke below its 200-period simple moving average (SMA) and was unable to find footing. The S&P has begun a short-term downtrend after reaching a record high of 3587.70 on September 2nd. The powerful declines and short rallies should have investors on the edge of their seats. Is this a dip buying opportunity or the beginning of a correction? The tech sector is also feeling some of the pain as shares of Tesla and Apple were the worst hit of the big names last week. Other tech stocks have also been experiencing a dip in prices. The index will likely continue to have rallies as traders play the intraday movements. However as long as price remains below its 200-period SMA, the bias is bearish. Price will probably rally back up to 3403.00, where it will meet resistance and likely be sent down to 3321.00. If price breaks below 3321.00, it could fall further to 3280.00. If price gets above 3403.00, traders should look to 3449.00 as a strong resistance level.
