With the S&P 500 giving up earlier gains and trading lower on the day, the index is poised to close at non-overbought levels (>1 standard deviation above its 50-DMA) for the first time since 2/2.  For reference, any close below 2,371.42 would move the index into neutral from overbought territory.

At a streak of 31 trading days overbought, this is the seventh longest streak of overbought closes in the current bull market and the eighth streak of 30 or more trading days.
