If the Major Indices Rally, How High Could They Go?

in General

Nothing goes in a straight line, up or down.  Earlier this week, I said the major stock indices could be due for a rally.  Boom — we got one yesterday.  It may fall apart today.  But if we get a rally, how high could it go?

Remember, until proven otherwise, this is a rally in a bear market.  And that brings me to my chart …

As you can see, if the S&P 500 could rally, simple retracement targets give us a range beetween 847 and 927.  847 lines up nicely with the 50-day moving average (which is actually a bit lower).  So that may be firm overhead resistance.

Of course, the market has to put a rally together first.  We’ll see how the day works out.
