I want to add a twist onto my analysis with past prices as some traders say there is history with prices. I wanted to note that the first day of trading in August the market was up pretty significantly. From the great folks at Bespoke Investments a chart record of performance in the SPX after a rally on the first day of August trading and for the rest of the month of August is shown below.

Only in 67 and 85 did the SPX end the month in the red. Presently the SPX is around -2.7% from its high of August 2. We have 7 trade sessions left in the month. Recent marco economic data has been mostly negative, however technical data is on the sides of the bulls. I will wait until Monday to see how the market plays out.
