Key support and resistance levels coming into play as the S&P500 and, by extension, the SPY pull back in their journey to test the January 2022 all-time high. As we can see from the chart, the potential pullback was signaled by narrowing spreads on equal volume over three weeks at the $460 level. This level is also reasonably strong, as evidenced by the thickness of the Quantum accumulation and distribution indicator. The indicator increases in size each time the price action touches the level and fails to break through. We can use these levels in a number of different ways, as potential targets, potential areas for reversals (as here), and stop placement as they are created by the market.
