Current ICAP Momentum/Trend Model (MOTR) Signal: POSITIVE (Day Count = 1) The SPX index gained 1.67% on the session, closing at 5375.  While this move was impressive, the close did come well off the day’s high (ref 5469) and below the previously highlighted resistance level at 5400.  That said, momentum and trend indicators have reversed
