​The S&P 500’s corrective move lower from its May record high at 5,343 to Friday’s 5,192 low probably ended at last week’s low as it appears to be an Elliott wave abc zig zag correction which should be followed by an advance to new all-time highs. The medium-term uptrend will remain intact while the late May low at 5,192 underpins.

​Minor support can be spotted at the 30 May high at 5,260 and the 23 May low at 5,257.

​Minor resistance sits at the 28 May high at 5,321.
