The S&P moved as anticipated on Tuesday although the end of the day drop was not expected. However considering investors are nervous for the upcoming Fed Minutes on Wednesday, a little selling in the last 5 minutes is not unexpected.
The stock market outlook technical indicators pointed to the likelihood that the index would close either slightly higher or slightly llower. However the Market Breadth Indicators were weaker and they expected a move to 2915 or 2910 and although 2900 was mentioned, it seemed unlikely Monday at the close. For Tuesday you can see that in the morning once the 2922 level failed to be broken through, the index fell lower. The 2915 valuation held the SPX in check until the afternoon. When it broke the rest of the afternoon saw little but selling. The last 5 minutes of trading is easy to see.
The close has the S&P back to 2900 to start off Wednesday.
