The S&P 500 closed above its 50-day moving average on Jul. 19. This milestone is important because there was only one other upswing in 2022 that saw the index supersede the key level. On the other hand, investors were quick to sell when prior bounces approached the 50-day MA. Additionally, the S&P 500’s RSI closed at its highest level since April. As a result, the bulls have the technical wind at their backs for the time being.
If momentum continues like this, it could allow the S&P 500 to challenge 4,151. The level is near the February, March and April lows, as well as the late May/early June highs.
So, is this the beginning of a persistent rally, or could the bears regain control in the coming days?
