Weak overseas action and Monday’s lower close suggest the S&P 500 is ready to break below the prior swing support at 1056. If broken, next support is in the 1040 area and then at the major 38.2% support in the 1010 area. The NYSE A/D line is still acting much stronger than the market averages as it is still well above the support formed in June and July. Historically, the A/D line leads the market averages, so this divergence requires close watching.
