Chop Chop Chop!

What have we got here? Nothing but choppy markets! From the chart above, the S&P 500 has been contained in a 40 point range (1260-1300) since August. The 1300 level mark is a tough nut to crack, given it is the longer term down channel resistance and also a recent horizontal reistance. We will need to see a clear break of either 1260 (downside) or 1300 (upside) to have a better sense of direction.
