After all, the index closed yesterday just two points below its all-time high.<\/p>\n<p> \tBut after last Friday&rsquo;s buying binge &ndash; which recovered everything the market lost during <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jeffclarktrader.com\/market-minute\/why-stocks-may-still-have-further-to-fall\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">last Wednesday&rsquo;s one-day-decline<\/a> &ndash; the momentum turned bullish. Stocks should have been able to push higher this week.<\/p>\n<p> \tBut so far, they&rsquo;ve struggled. And right now, the daily chart of the S&amp;P 500 looks slightly more bearish than bullish. Take a look&hellip;<\/p>\n<p> \t<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/assets.jeffclarktrader.com\/ee-assets\/channels\/articles\/Screen_Shot_2017-11-02_at_10.36.50.png\" style=\"width: 100%\" \/><\/p>\n<p> \tThe S&amp;P 500 made a new all-time high on Friday. But you can see how all of the various technical momentum indicators failed to make new highs. This &ldquo;negative divergence&rdquo; is often an early warning of a potential reversal.<\/p>\n<p> \tThe divergences can be eliminated if the market can rally hard enough to push the indicators to new highs. Frankly, though, if Friday&rsquo;s massive buying binge couldn&rsquo;t do it, and if yesterday morning&rsquo;s big rally couldn&rsquo;t do it, it&rsquo;s hard to imagine what sort of move its going to take to get rid of the negative divergence.<\/p>\n<p> \tSo, any upside from here is probably limited.<\/p>\n<p> \tIf the S&amp;P can close above the 2583 level, then I can make a case for a move up to the 2595-2600 area. But, if the negative divergence starts to play out, then keep a close eye on the 9-day exponential moving average line at 2570. If the S&amp;P closes below that level, then there&rsquo;s a good chance we&rsquo;ll finally get a test of the 50-day moving average line &ndash; which is all the way down around 2517.<\/p>\n<p> \tBest regards and good trading,<\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-bottom:20px;\"> \t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/casey-assets.s3.amazonaws.com\/images\/misc\/jeff-clark-signature.png\" style=\"max-width: 150px; width:150px\" width=\"150\" \/><\/div>\n<p> \tJeff Clark<\/p>\n<p> \t<strong>P.S.&nbsp;<\/strong>Tonight at 8 p.m. EST (rebroadcast at 8 p.m. PST), cryptocurrency expert Teeka Tiwari is putting on a live training webinar to teach viewers all about the opportunity in cryptocurrencies.<\/p>\n<p> \tHe&rsquo;ll be sitting down with two cryptocurrency experts&hellip; showing viewers how simple it is to enter this market&hellip; and revealing one of his top crypto ideas for 2018.<\/p>\n<p> \tTo sign up, <a href=\"https:\/\/research.palmbeachgroup.com\/794938\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2> \tReader Mailbag<\/h2>\n<p> \tHow have you traded market surges in the past?
