SPX -- Daily

I plan to do a weekly update before the end of the weekend, so this piece is intended to focus
on the short term as revealed by the SPX Daily

There was a sharp and overdue dip this week as the Trump farrago captured The Street's focus
for a day, but news that the Congress is taking up a large tax reform program led to some cheer as
the week ended. The price gap alluded to a couple of weeks ago with the announcement of the
Trump tax proposal was closed by the sharp sell off on Wed. The partial rebound toward week's
end closed half the distance after the big downer on Wed. The market is still laboring under the
SPX double top at 2400, which marks clear short term resistance. There is short term support for
the SPX a little above the 2320 level.

The MACD looks a little nasty, but the SPX is now in relatively neutral territory.
