The S&P 500 is retracing to test its new support level after breaking resistance at 1420. Respect would signal an advance to 1570*, while failure of support at 1400 would indicate a bull trap. Bearish divergence on 21-day Twiggs Money Flow continues to flag medium-term selling pressure. Breach of the lower trend channel — and support at 1400 — would warn of another test of primary support at 1300.
