Trade Possibilities

For Bulls:

  • Ride the trend, but watch for loss of momentum or RSI divergence.
  • Trailing stops just under 6,320 offer reasonable protection.

For Bears:

  • No valid short setup yet, but a gap up followed by intraday reversal could offer an entry point.
  • Wait for signs like bearish engulfing or RSI divergence to initiate counter-trend setups.

Final Take

The S&P 500 futures are grinding higher along with all other US markets. The overbought RSI doesn’t offer much to worry about since the trend is slow and lagging.

Always remember to follow strict money management rules.
