Market Watch September 22, 2012

The market made a new high a week ago than pulled back just a bit.  So let's take a look at what the charts are telling us to gain some perspective on what the near term holds.  Below is a 60 minute chart of the S&P 500 fund (SPY).
From the chart above.  The 60 minute is in a neutral pattern neither overbought or oversold, just trending sideways at or above the moving averages.
The daily chart is overbought and can use some consolidation or a pullback to the 20 day exponential moving average prior to moving higher.
The weekly chart above, has just entered into overbought territory.  Prior to moving higher, I would expect to see some sideways to a small pullback. 

Bottom Line:  Charts are showing some overbought signals, so I expect next week we remain in a trading range to work off those conditions prior to resuming the predominant trend, which is higher.  Thank you for reading.
