Disclosure: Bellaire Capital Management is long SPY on behalf of its clients.

The SPY (S&P 500 Index ETF) Closed below its 200 day moving average on Friday. Today is a crucial day for the for the Equity Markets. If the SPY closes below the 200 day moving average again, it could herald a prolonged summer slump.
If the SPY can decisively close above the 200 day moving average, I think the Equity Markets will have a short term relief rally into the 1340/1350 range on the S&P 500.
There have been many false "breaks" of the 200 day moving average. Last fall and winter, SPY closed above its 200 day moving average several times only to fall back a day or two later. Often, it takes several days above/below the moving average to confirm a break. Additionally, a decisive break of more than .5% is usually enough to confirm the breakout.
