$S&P 500(.SPX)$ - The downtrend remains in control, dictated by the 20DMA currently at $5087.

Despite this, $Apple(AAPL)$ 's positive earnings reaction is giving a boost to the market, with SPX futures up 0.33%.

In my previous post, I highlighted the importance of the $5084 support level. Notice how the 20DMA is hovering near there now.

Breaking above this key moving average would be the first step towards a potential trend reversal.

The market's reaction to tomorrow's NFP data is a wildcard. A negative response could mute the positive sentiment from AAPL's earnings.

While the 100DMA continues its upward trend, potentially acting as a support level in a continued decline, a bullish MACD crossover would be a more significant technical signal. However, last Monday's failed attempt at a crossover highlights the market's current indecisiveness.

    I agree, breaking above the 20DMA would be a positive sign.
