COMMENTARY
The market continues to vascillate in a fairly tight range.  Price-volume action shows some selling pressure, but not enough to warrant a change in market outlook.  Objective Elliott Wave analysis shows intermediate support/resistance levels for the S&P500 remain unchanged for a 6th straight week.

• Resistance:  2,131/ 2,198
• Support:  2,070 / 2,085

Tony C. summed of the recent price movements nicely:

For the past three months this market has been a day traders dream. It has spent three months within a 95 point trading range: mostly drifting to the upside with several larger pullbacks along the way. From an Elliott Wave perspective it has been somewhat of a nightmare.
