S&P 500: Strength at the open was initially sold but ultimately rebounded in to what turned out to be a rather lame rally. Today we have the Employment Report at 8:30am ET which will define the price action for the day. With such a tight range over the last 3 sessions it is reasonable to assume that the S&P will test if not break either the low or the high of the Fib Grid today. A gap up at the open that is above Mondays high of 1461.00 and the short side is favored as long as trading below the open with a gap fill and negative momentum on the daily bars as a minimum profit target.

S&P 500: A gap down at the open was bought off the 10am ET economic announcements to easily fill the gap to Tuesdays close before fading back below the low of the day only to close just above the open. The past 2 sessions have offered lame selling and although a more substantial pullback is due, traders are likely to bid equities back up today in front of Fridays 8:30am ET Employment Report. Today's pivot holds confluence with Tuesdays low and if trading above expect bullish price action with  1556.50 as a minimum profit target and 1561.00 as an ultimate target.

10 Year Note: Notes opened higher and rallied to just above Tuesdays high yesterday before settling well below the upper .214 at the close. Selling has been mild in the S&P the last 2 sessions and a return to the predominate up trend will likely hurt Notes. We have the Employment report on Friday at 8:30am ET which will likely see the optimists emerge in the equity markets at least in today's afternoon session if not the morning as well. This strength in equities will likely see a retreat in Notes. Today we have confluence at the pivot and yesterdays close as a good line in the sand to trade against with either end of the Fib Grid as profit targets.

Trading below yesterdays low of 79.550 and the short side is favored as long as resistance exists below confluence with 78.875 as a minimum profit target.

S&P 500: Strength at the open was sold to confluence at 1552.00 and rallied smartly but could not hold on to gains in to the close posting an inside day. Today confluence is a bit higher with the upper .214 and the pivot offering a good line in the sand to trade against.Given that yesterday was an inside day, our trading plan remains the same. Buying is likely to continue today but expect a struggle above Mondays high of 1561.00 with a minimum retracement back to last weeks high of 1552.00 before moving higher. As suggested in DATA Morning Call and numerous occasions in the DATA chat room, the big picture is bullish as positive momentum on the weekly and monthly bars continues.

Today the buy side remains favored as long as trading above the confluence of the upper .214 and the pivot with109 25.5/32 as a minimum profit target and 110 3/32 as an ultimate target.

Trading above yesterdays high of 80.20 and the buy side is again favored as long as trading above 79.925 with 83.75 as the ultimate profit target.

S&P 500: The 4th quarter opened with a bang yesterday as bad news was pushed aside and equity bulls caused a stampede to just below the all-time high in the S&P and Dow. Today the buying is likely to continue but expect a struggle above yesterdays high of 1561.00 with a minimum retracement back to last weeks high of 1552.00 before moving higher. As suggested in DATA Morning Call and numerous occasions in the DATA chat room, the big picture is bullish as positive momentum on the weekly and monthly bars continues.

10 Year Note: Notes posted a relatively quiet inside day that was quite defensive given the strength in equities. Perhaps Notes are in denial as the Dow and S&P bang on all time highs. Today we have confluence at the pivot and yesterdays close with the upper .382 only a few ticks away. Notes must maintain above this level to be considered bullish. Continued strength in the S&P and Notes are likely to fade with 108 22.5/32 as an ultimate target. A failure in the S&P and Notes are very likely to rally given the high relative strength that was maintained yesterday. Look for a break above 109 22/32 as a minimum profit target to the buy side.

Crude Oil: Oil fell out of bed on yesterday as Fridays selling continued to hit the tape. Support at the lower .214 on the Fib Grid suggests a rally today but if not, look out below as 78.45 will be the minimum profit target for short sellers. In the big picture Oil is still very bullish. If high relative strength returns we will likely see a break above 83.75. Confluence at the pivot and the lower .214 will be a good line in the sand to trade against today.

Today the buy side is favored as long as trading with support above the confluence of the upper .214, the pivot and yesterdays close with 1543.50 as a minimum profit target and 1552.00 as an ultimate target. Trading below yesterdays low of 1530.25 and the short side will be favored  with a gap fill to Tuesdays close of 1529.00 as a minimum profit target and 1518.75 as an ultimate target.

10 Year Note: Notes sold yesterday and filled the gap to Mondays close and rallied in to the close finishing above the open. Notes are setting up for a potential rally here and if trading above yesterdays high of 109 3.5/32 the buy side will be favored as long as trading above the confluence of the lower .382 and the pivot as highlighted above with 109 13/32 as the minimum profit target. Weakness that maintains resistance below confluence is a short with 108 13/32 as the ultimate profit target. GDP at 8:30am ET will likely set the tone for the day.

Today look for Oil to mount a fresh rally as long as trading with support above the confluence of the upper .382 and the pivot with 80.825 as a minimum profit target and 82.35 as an ultimate target. The pullback we have been looking for has occurred and the buy side is once again favored.
