S&P 500 Index Technical Review (62) 21 8066 8682
The SPX 500 index (SPX Index) extended its rally from Aug 2017 low of
Nguyen Thanh Lam
2,425. Friday’s gap-up further lifted the index above its previous

resistance of 2,578. Although the Leading Index (LEI CHNG Index) has (848) 4455 5888 (Ext 8086)
turned negative for the first time since Sep 2016, the technical reading
for SPX Index remains positive, reflected by an uptick in RSI. The Kritsapong Patan

breakout above its upper Bollinger band also implies greater volatility

Meanwhile, for the MSCI AC ASEAN STRD USD Index (MXSO Index), we Apisit Pattarasakolkiat
