RSI divergence on both Indices has been warning about stretched bullish trend and looming trend exhaustion


S&P 500 correction likely unfolding key support at around 5,057. A close below could fuel a sell-off down to 4,953.
RSI divergence has been warning about trend exhaustion for some time by now, and now the uptrend seems to have come to an end, at least short-term.  

For S&P 500 to demolish this correction scenario a close above Friday’s peak at 5,190 is necessary

Nasdaq 100 Key support at around 17,808. A daily Close below is likely to fuel a sell-off down to around 17,478 possibly down to 17,128 .
First strong indication of this scenario to play out would be a break below its lower rising trendline in the rising channel pattern

To resume uptrend a close above Friday’s peak at 18,417 is necessary

USNAS100 cfd levels: A break below rising trendline could fuel a sell-off down to 17,870-17,159

A close above Friday peak is needed for uptrend to resume

Dow Jones Industrial DJI formed a Doji Evening top and reversal like pattern end of February (circled)

A break below support at 38,457 is likely to push the Index down to support at 37,778.
A close below 38,109 could push the Index lower towards 37,000

For DJI to indicate the uptrend is resuming a close above 38,971 is needed but for the top and reversal pattern to be demolished and DJI to confirm uptrend ahs resumed a close above 39,283 is a must
