The S&P closed the week up 5.84% after trading a in a massive range of 268 points. Price close at 4000 and at the high of the week range. The S&P is above 9/21/55 emas and the Nov 1st pivot high. Price starts the week at the 618 Fib RT within striking distance of the long term downward trend line and the 200 SMA. Below are few points I am considering.
