The S&P 500 Index Just Broke a Long Term Up Trend - Do You Care?

Trading doesn't have to complex.

Sometimes simple indicators are better.  Trend lines are easy to follow and often meaningful.

Below is a weekly chart of the S&P 500 Index showing the recent break of an up-trend in place since 2009.  If price stays beneath this level, it will likely be tough for Bulls.

 

121119 SP500 at Danger Zone Level for Bulls

 

In addition to the trend line break, there is a negative divergence (where recent price highs happened with lower momentum).  Technicians often take this to be sign of weakness.

Let's see what happens.
