The S&P 500 Index rallied the to the tune of 7.03%, moving above its 20-day moving average for the first time since February 21. This short-term variable level had acted as resistance to the rebound attempt over the past week, throwing a curveball to those expecting a nice rounded rebound wave from the March 23rd low. Monday’s session saw the benchmark gap back above the open gap charted last week between 2500 and 2575, emphasizing the significance of this zone. The move has charted a higher short-term low above the March 23rd low, indicating the start of a short-term trend of higher-highs and higher-lows.
