Intraday trade: Our Friday's intraday trading outlook was bearish. It proved wrong because the S&P 500 index gained 0.3% following a slightly higher opening of the trading session. We still can see some short-term overbought conditions. Therefore, an intraday short position is favored. Stop-loss is at the level of 2,605 and potential profit target is at 2,555 (S&P 500 index).

Our intraday outlook is bearish today. Our short-term outlook is neutral, and our medium-term outlook is neutral. Intraday outlook (next 24 hours): bearish; Short-term outlook (next 1-2 weeks): neutral; Medium-term outlook (next 1-3 months): neutral
