The S&P 500 (see first chart below) remains stuck near the bottom of its trading range. If it goes much below 1440, 1428-1432 and 1420 come into play, while 1480-1500 remains a big hurdle to the upside.
If 13,000 goes on the Dow (second chart), 12,800 could be next. To the upside, 13,360 is a big resistance area.
The Nasdaq (third chart) has support here at 2600, with 2590 and 2540-2550 below that. Resistance is 2650-2660, 2680 and 2700.
