• US 500 stock index maintains muted positive tone

• Short-term bias on the bullish side; eyes on 5,680

Unlike the US 30 index, the US 500 index could not renew its record rally on Tuesday, retaining a muted positive tone around 5,650.

The bulls, however, might still have their chance, especially after the close above the one-year-old resistance line at 5,600. If that floor holds, the price might attempt to push above the short-term ascending line at 5,683 and towards the 5,800-5,860 territory where the 261.8% Fibonacci extension of April’s downfall is placed.

Technically, another bullish action cannot be ruled out as the RSI and the MACD remain within the positive area. Yet, with the former hovering above 70 and the latter testing its previous highs, additional gains might be limited.

Nevertheless, only a close below the 20-day simple moving average at 5,530 could press the price towards the support trendline at 5,487. Even lower, the focus might shift to the 5,430 constraining region and the 50-day SMA.
