BTIG analyst Jonathan Krinsky told investors in a note Monday that while the firm is watching SPX 4,177 (its June high), they have also noted that the 20 DMA is 4,166.

"There were some buyers around that level off the open, but an inability to hold above that would be another negative 'tell'. Note the 20 DMA hasn't been tested since mid-July, and typically the first test does get some traction," wrote Krinsky, the Chief Market Technician at BTIG.

"IWM has also pulled back to its rising 20 DMA (192.04) and has also responded favorably thus far. Below the surface we are seeing some early outperformance from areas like China Tech (KWEB), Biotech (XBI), and Coal names, which we highlighted in our weekly note," he added.

Krinsky said that overall, "it's a pretty broad distribution day with NYSE A/D line -1548 and 84% of NYSE volume in declining stocks."

"Utilities (XLU) still look timely to us on the downside as the 20 DMA is still ~2.80% lower, and ~7.5% downside to the 50 DMA," Krinsky concluded.

We encourage you to use comments to engage with users, share your perspective and ask questions of authors and each other. However, in order to maintain the high level of discourse we’ve all come to value and expect, please keep the following criteria in mind: 

  • Enrich the conversation
  • Stay focused and on track. Only post material that’s relevant to the topic being discussed.
  • Be respectful. Even negative opinions can be framed positively and diplomatically.
  •  Use standard writing style. Include punctuation and upper and lower cases.
  • NOTE: Spam and/or promotional messages and links within a comment will be removed
  • Avoid profanity, slander or personal attacks directed at an author or another user.
  • Don’t Monopolize the Conversation. We appreciate passion and conviction, but we also believe strongly in giving everyone a chance to air their thoughts. Therefore, in addition to civil interaction, we expect commenters to offer their opinions succinctly and thoughtfully, but not so repeatedly that others are annoyed or offended. If we receive complaints about individuals who take over a thread or forum, we reserve the right to ban them from the site, without recourse.
