S&P 500 (SP500) developed positively on Tuesday and gained 0.68 percent to a close of 3005 points. S&P 500 is in a rising trend channel in the short, medium and long term. Rising trends indicate that the market experiences positive development and that buy interest among investors for the stocks is increasing. The index is nearing its highest close of 3014 points. On the downside there is support at 2946 points.

We write about two stocks that are listed on S&P 500. Main criteria for today's selection was liquidity which was set above 300 million dollars or above. Next step is to see only technically positive stocks. As we set the stock selection criteria, it gave us a list of 80 stocks. However, we are writing about two stocks today that top the list on the basis of overall score irrespective of sector.

General Motors Company (GM.US500) Close: 40.71

General Motors Company does not show any clear trend in the medium term, but is inside rising trend channels both in short and long term charts. Investors have steadily paid more to buy the stock, which indicates increasing optimism and that the price may continue to rise.

The stock has risen by over 20 percent in the past two months and now has broken up through the resistance at 40.00 dollars. Next resistace is around 45 dollars. There is support between 40 and 38.50 levels.

Positive volume balance, with high volume on days of rising prices and low volume on days of falling prices, strengthens the stock in the short term. RSI above 70 shows that the stock has strong positive momentum in the short term. These indicators support underlying strength in the price. The stock is overall assessed as technically positive in the medium to long term.

Investtech's outlook (one to six months): Positive

Investors have paid higher prices over time to buy in Coca-Cola and the stock price has broken through the ceiling of the  rising trend channel both in the medium and long term. This signals increasing optimism among investors and indicates continued rise.
