The SPX fell 6% on the week with the post FOMC day rally being faded after Wednesday tested up to 3840 but was unable to trade into the gap overhead into 3900. Prices attempted a Friday OPEX rally with growth names stronger to close the week, but the SPX closed back under 3700. With stocks now very oversold and Quad Witching expiration passing, it opens a retracement rally potential but Fridays high at 3710 will be the key level to see buyers get above early next week. The 8 EMA sits at 3807 and 21 EMA further higher at 3939 as upside targets along with the gap fill near 3900. The trend is clearly lower with MACD in a bear cross position but RSI and breadth indicators near very oversold levels can materialize in a snapback rebound. The QQQ Nasdaq also closed the week just under a very long-term level of support in the 200-week EMA so the 275 level will be important to watch for reversal attempts off this key support.
