S&P 500: A tight range inside day was posted yesterday with a lower close that suggests continued selling today. We have confluence at the pivot and lower .214 to short sell against with Wednesdays low of 1534.00 as a minimum profit target. Last weeks low of 1556.25 may also offer resistance but a break above that level that offers support and the buy side may be heavily favored with Wednesdays high of 1560.75 as a minimum profit target.

10 Year Note: A gap up at the open yesterday offered little follow through and should the S&P continue to fall out of bed today Notes will likely continue to rise. Below the upper .214 of 109 18.5/32 and all bets off the buy side. A lack of economic announcements suggest that Notes will be looking at the S&P for guidance today.

Crude Oil: Oil continued to move higher on Thursday with little regard for a Fib grid that has more than $11 from low to high. To put that in to a more sensible perspective, Oil was $11 a barrel in 1998. Our trading plan in Oil remains the same as historically we know that patience and persistence inevitably wins. Again today, the short side is favored as Oil is hyper over-bought at these levels. Persistence to the short side will inevitably pay. The question remains whether it will pay before or after the current November contract expires. Oil is a short here guys! Trading above yesterdays high of 89.575 and look for any good reason to short Oil with a gap fill to last Fridays close of 83.70 as a minimum profit target with 81.275 and 78.35 as ultimate profit targets.

S&P 500: Strength at the open was sold to a new low on the week yesterday trading below Tuesdays low posting an outside day but closing well above Tuesdays low suggesting a bottom may have been put in yesterday. Lately, every other day is either a big range expansion day or a tight range day. We may see a tight range day today given we do not have any significant economic announcements today. Last weeks low of 1556.25 kept a lid on the afternoon price action and may still again today in which case the short side will continue to be favored with yesterdays low of 1534.00 as an ultimate profit target. Support above 1556.25 and we should see a break above yesterdays high of 1560.75 minimum.

S&P 500: Weakness at the open was sold to a new low on the week yesterday closing below Mondays low suggesting further selling today. That said, the S&P has had negative momentum on the daily bars since last Thursdays and is due for a bounce. Today we have CPI pre-market which will likely set the tone for the day. A significant gap down at the open may not be bought in to so be sure if buying on a gap down that it is only if trading above the open. Strength that maintains support above last weeks low of 1556.25 and the buy side is also favored with 1560.25 as a minimum profit target and a new 52 week high above 1586.75 as an ultimate target.

New lows on the day were bought back above last weeks high in to the close suggesting a rally today. Industrial production at 9:15am ET will likely have a significant impact today. Look for the short side to still be favored as long as trading below the loose confluence of the pivot and yesterdays close with yesterdays low of 1550.00 as a minimum profit target.

10 Year Note: Notes posted positive momentum early on Friday only to be spanked off the 8:30am ET economic announcement closing poorly at the end of the day. Today we may see Fridays weakness follow through especially if the S&P rallies. 108 20/32 is the old lower .214 and today's upper .382 and a good line in the sand to work with. Resistance at or below 108 20/32 and we should see a break of last weeks low at 108 9.5/32 minimum. Support at or above 108 20/32 and and advance to at least above Fridays high of 108 26.5/32 should be expected.

Crude Oil: Oil continued on its way to posting a new all-time high on Friday with a close right at Thursdays high. As suggested in DATA Morning Call, a move above the high of the year at 83.750 would likely be a struggle. Expect the struggle to continue today should strength remain in Oil above Fridays high. Oil is due for a pullback to at least 83.475 and ultimately 81.275 whereupon buyers will likely step back in. A gap up at the open and Oil is a short as long as trading below the open with a gap fill and negative momentum on the daily bars as a minimum profit target.
