​SP 500 sees five straight days of gains

​The SP 500’s 3.5% rally from its early May low amid five consecutive days of gains has taken it to the 5,200 mark around which it may short-term lose upside momentum. A slip towards the 5,132 to 5,123 55-day simple moving average (SMA) and the late April high might be on the cards for this week.

​Were the recent advance to continue, the April record high at 5,274 would be back in the frame.
