S&P 500: Strength at the open ultimately offered a rally above Wednesdays high yesterday and a mid afternoon test of last weeks low led to a rally in to the close suggesting weakness is being bought over the last 4 sessions with a close above the open  each day. We have a host of very important economic announcements next week and historically we get accumulation/rallies in front of these numbers. We also have the all-important seasonal buy November/sell April upon us and the bulls should be coming out of their 2 week hiatus. Today we will see either a continuance of this strength or a significant implosion of prices should the S&P trade below 1505.00 and with only light economic announcements it will likely be earnings that push the market one way or the other. For the market to remain bullish look for the upper .214 of 1522.25 to offer support with a break above 1529.75 as a minimum profit target and a return to 1546.75 as an ultimate target. Trading below 1505.00 and things could get quite ugly as the short side will be favored with 1494.75 as a minimum profit target.

10 Year Note: A quiet inside day on Thursday as Notes waited patiently as if expecting the S&P to do something really stupid like selling to new monthly lows. That opportunity may come today so be aware of the analysis offered in the S&P above. Notes remain bullish at yesterdays close but a rebound in the S&P today and Notes will likely sell substantially. To the short side look for Notes to return to 110 7/32 minimum especially if Notes break below the upper .214 of 110 18/32 with the Fib high of 111 6.5/32 as a minimum target to the buy side.

Crude Oil: Oil took off yesterday to new all-time highs and closing at the high of the day. Talk about a squeeze! This squeeze should end badly for Oil as yesterdays close is again hyper-overbought with the gap to Wednesdays close at 87.075 likely to fill. Today look for any good reason to short Oil above yesterdays high of 90.525 with negative momentum on the daily bars and 88.05 as a minimum profit target and 87.075 and 82.70 as ultimate targets. I am not interested in the buy side at all at these levels.

S&P 500: Weakness at the open led to a test of Mondays low which created a short squeeze in the afternoon closing the S&P just off the high of the day. Today, look for yesterdays strength to continue with a break above yesterdays high and positive momentum on the daily bars with 1535.00 as a minimum profit target and that ultimately leads to a test and perhaps a break above 1586.75 which is the high of the year (over the next several weeks). This analysis of course assumes support remains above the confluence of the upper .382 and the pivot as highlighted above with all bets off the buy side should this level break.

10 Year Note: Notes flew higher on Wednesday as the S&P fell out of bed. Today continued strength in Notes is unlikely as yesterdays late rebound in the S&P suggests follow through today. Look for a gap fill to Tuesdays close of 110 16.5/32 as a minimum target and returning ultimately to 110 12/32,109 24/32 and 109 18/32.

Crude Oil: A flat open led to a rally off the back of Oil Inventory that easily broke above and closed above Tuesdays high. Today look for yesterdays strength to continue with 88.15 as the ultimate profit target. Above 88.15 and look for any good reason to short Oil as the selling to date is not fully digested.

S&P 500: A gap up at the open was sold to below Mondays close before rallying in the afternoon to new highs suggesting continued strength today. Today the buy side continues to be favored as long as trading above the confluence of the upper .214 and the pivot with yesterdays high of 1527.50 as a minimum profit target and at least an attempt to close the gap to last Thursdays close of 1546.75 as an ultimate target. Trading below 1513.00 and certainly below 1510.25 and the short side will be favored as long as trading below confluence with 1505.00 as a minimum profit target and 1494.75, 1485.00 and 1476.26 as ultimate targets.

Today the buy side will still be favored as long as trading above the upper .214 of 110 9/32 with Fridays high of 110 27/32 as a minimum profit target. A continued rebound in the S&P and Notes may fall out of bed with the short side favored should 110 7/32 be broken with Notes returning ultimately to 109 24/32 and 109 18/32.

S&P 500: A gap down at the open was bought right from the first 5 minutes of the day closing nearly 20 points higher suggesting a higher move today as positive momentum on the daily bars has been elusive for well over a week. Last weeks low of 1505.00 is a level where if support does not exist all bets come off to the buy side. Another level of interest is the confluence yesterdays cash close at 1514.00 and the lower .214 of 1514.50 which is just below yesterdays high. Look for at least an attempt to close the gap to last Thursdays close of 1546.75

S&P 500: A gap down at the open led to more selling as the S&P easily broke through the low of the week and the swing low of September closing down over 40 points. With Europe and Asia closed as the Dow approached 400 points down in to the close Friday, it will be interesting to see what reaction the world has to the U.S. markets in advance of our open today. A gap down at the open is a buy as long as trading above the open with support with a gap fill and positive momentum on the daily bars as a minimum profit target. Strength at the open will likely be sold against with Fridays low of 1505.00 as a minimum profit target and 1484.75,1476.25 and 1440.75 as ultimate profit targets.

10 Year Note: Notes rallied hard in the face of a brutal equity sell-off on Friday. Today the selling in equities may continue and if so expect a continued rise in Notes. Notes are bullish as long as trading above the upper .214 of 110 4.5/32 but I do not expect strength much beyond Fridays high of 110 21.5/32 unless a Black Monday for equities exists. The September high of 110 31/32 is the ultimate profit target for Notes.

Crude Oil: Oil remained inside of Thursdays range on Friday closing slightly lower. 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. Oil is a short here guys! Trading above last weeks high high of 89.575 and look for any good reason to short Oil with a gap fill to the 10/12 close of 83.70 as a minimum profit target with 81.275 and 78.35 as ultimate profit targets. The mini Oil contract rolls to December today (QM Z7).
