Stock Trading Alert: Stocks remain near long-term highs

December 30, 2013, 6:58 AM

The main U.S. stock market indexes were mixed between 0.0% and -0.3% on Friday, as investors decided to take some profits following recent move up. However, the S&P 500 index managed to reach yet another new intraday all-time high at 1,844.89. The support remains at 1,829.75-1,834.96, marked by Thursday’s daily gap up, and the next support is at around 1,810-1,815. For now, there are no confirmed uptrend reversal signals, however, we can see some overbought, as the daily chart shows:
