Today’s Chart of the Day was shared by Grayson Roze (@GraysonRoze). These are some of the largest equity index ETFs including; $SPY, $MDY, $SLY, $VTI, $IWB and $IWM. Grayson points out that all six of these ETFs are testing their Q1 lows. Price was already rejected at these levels once before in early June. Will the second attempt be the charm? It would be a huge win for the bulls if the major indices reclaimed their Q1 lows. Keep an eye on how these tests play out in the near term.

A walk down Price Memory Lane. Much focus on S&P 500 near the June high, upper edge of 3-mo. range, the 100-day avg. But this level is also around the 100-week avg, the intraday low from Ukraine invasion and where the market paused for several weeks on the way up in spring 2021. pic.twitter.com/US70MJKEj9
