S&P 500: Pre-market economic announcements sent the S&P higher yesterday confirming Wednesdays breakout and capitulation to positive momentum on the daily bars. Today we have CPI and IPCU pre-market which may push the S&P higher. Today is also quadruple witching with the simultaneous expiration of options and futures on the same day. Today's Pivot shares loose confluence with yesterdays close but is also less than 4 points from yesterdays high. Today is a bit of a wild card with a gap up at the open that is above yesterdays high signaling a short selling opportunity as long as trading below the open. Weakness should be bought as long as sup exists above the pivot with yesterdays high of 1542.00 as a minimum profit target.

10 Year Note: Notes finally posted an honest day of positive momentum on the daily bars yesterday. That momentum was limited as the close was well below Wednesdays high. Today look for the loose confluence of the pivot and yesterdays close to offer support to buy against with Mondays close of 104 27.5/32 as a minimum profit target. With quadruple witching today and important economic announcements just about anything can happen.

Crude Oil: As suggested in DATA Morning Call, Oil continued its advance yesterday breaking through our ultimate profit target. I am no longer interested in the buy side at these levels. Let Oil pullback on the daily bars before attempting to once again get positioned long. For intra-day scalpers, support above the confluence of the upper .214 and pivot as highlighted above may still be good for a breakout of yesterdays high of 67.90

S&P 500: A gap up at the open yesterday maintained support at confluence that led to an afternoon rally prompted by the 2pm Beige Book announcement that drove the S&P above the high of the week closing strong suggesting more buying today. Today the buy side will be favored as long as trading with support above the pivot. With pre-market economic announcements today, the S&P should be lively especially if Notes and Bonds are affected significantly.

10 Year Note: Notes posted a strong gap down at the open that was bought in to after the 8:30am economic announcements to ultimately close at the high of the day. Today it is reasonable to assume that Notes find continued support and rally to well above yesterdays high creating a new Fib Grid for the first time in a month. Look for support at or above confluence at the pivot and Tuesdays low with a gap fill to Mondays close at 104 27.5/32 as a minimum profit target.

Today look for support at or above the loose confluence of the upper .382 and the Pivot with a break above last weeks high of 67.425 as an ultimate target.

S&P 500: A gap down at the open led to a rally to just above Mondays close before selling resumed as treasuries broke the low of the day sending interest rates to new 2007 highs. Today we will likely see more of the same as pressure in Notes and the Bond continue to affect equities. Look for resistance at or below the confluence of the lower .214 and the pivot to short against with a break of last weeks low of 1502.25 as a minimum profit target. Above confluence and all bets off the short side. The next 3 days offer important economic announcements that will likely move the market as well so be aware.

10 Year Note: Notes gapped down at the open and continued their slide yesterday testing the pre-market low  from last Friday and the 2006 low. Notes are under unprecedented pressure that clearly suggests a large fund is long and wrong, systematically liquidating with every new low down tick. Yesterdays close suggests more selling today and a gap down at the open that is below yesterdays low and we may see the final exhaustion that is worth buying. If buying a gap down be sure to only buy when trading above the open. Look for a violent rally in Notes good for 1 to 2 full points.

S&P 500: The S&P continued its march higher yesterday with an anticipated recovery in the treasury market that never came which sent prices lower in to the close. Today we will likely see lower prices in the S&P if Notes cannot recover from last weeks selling. With confluence at the pivot and yesterdays close as well as the lower .382  and Fridays high of 1524.00 nearby we have a good line in the sand to trade against today. Look for a test, if not a break, of last weeks low of 1502.25 if Notes fall out of bed and confluence holds resistance in the S&P. Given that Friday was an inside day and that yesterday was still trading inside Thursdays range we are using the same Fib Grid today as yesterday.

10 Year Note: Notes posted a relatively quiet inside day on Monday suggesting buyers are not yet ready to swoop in and save the day. Today we could see a test of last Fridays low of 104 16.5/32 at which point look for support and a potential rally in Notes. We have a good line in the sand to trade against today with the confluence of the pivot and yesterdays close above which the buy side will be favored with positive momentum on the daily bars and a gap fill to Thursdays close at 105 2.5/32 as a minimum profit target and 105 27/32 as an ultimate target.

S&P 500: Significant pre-market selling in both Notes and the S&P led to a rally that closed just below the high of the day at Fridays lower .382 posting an inside day. Today we still have negative momentum on both the daily and weekly bars although Fridays strength threatens to capitulate momentum back to positive on the daily bars. With no significant economic announcements today, traders will be looking for a recovery in Notes to help calm concerns over increased interest rates. Today could be a tricky day.
