Posted by pugsma on October 9, 2025

Key Technical Indicators (Short to Intermediate Term)  Print SharpCharts from StockCharts.com

  1. Daily Chart Divergence: With the new all-time high at 6750 on Friday, Oct 3rd there is potential for a -DIV to form on the daily chart RSI.
  2. $NYAD: The $NYAD is showing a potential -DIV with the new SP-500 all-time high at 6750 on Friday, Oct 3rd. $NYAD | SharpCharts | StockCharts.com
  3. “Q4 has never been lower when the S&P 500 makes a new all-time high in the usually weak months of August and September, along with at least one in October. This bodes well for continued strength in 2025.” Average Q4 gain is +6.8%. October started at 6641, so that implies a target at 7092 by Dec 31st.
