S&P 500: A gap down at the open yesterday was bought as suggested in yesterdays DATA Morning Call and DATA chat room with a substantial rally that easily broke above Wednesdays close and came within 1 tick of the high of the week before selling in to the close. Yesterdays strength is likely to follow through today and as long as trading with support above the loose confluence of the upper .382 and the pivot as highlighted above the buy side is favored. Employment at 8:30 am ET and a slew of other announcements at 10:00am ET will likely have an impact on today's trading. Be in the DATA chat room for the latest real time analysis.

S&P 500: Weakness at the open yesterday was bought as suggested in yesterdays DATA Morning Call and DATA chat room. A 1/2 point cut by the Fed offered a fine rally to well above our ultimate profit target of 1370.75 only to bump in to sellers that forced price well below the morning low and ultimately below Tuesdays low creating an outside day. Today it is reasonable to assume that yesterdays selling will continue. Strength at the open should be sold short as long as resistance exists below the confluence of the lower .382 and the pivot as highlighted above with Mondays low of 1322.75 as a minimum profit target and last weeks low of 1270.00 as an ultimate target. The buy side will likely not be favored at all today unless a significant gap down at the open exists in which case the buy side is favored as long as trading with support above the open with a gap fill and positive momentum on the daily bars as a minimum profit target.

S&P 500: Strength at the open yesterday was sold for a gap fill only to rally to new highs in the afternoon posting a capitulation to positive momentum on the daily bars. Today, regardless of where the S&P opens, look for a continuance of yesterdays strength with a minimum profit target of 1370.75 and potentially quite a bit higher. Although confluence is extremely broad, look for support between the upper .214 of 1357.50 and the pivot of 1360.00 for new highs. Expectations are for a 1/2 point cut in interest rates by the Fed at 2:15pm ET today and anything less will likely be a significant disappointment.

S&P 500: A relatively flat open led to a break of Fridays low only to rally as suggested in yesterdays DATA Morning call and close just off the high of the day nearly 75% of the way back to last weeks high. Today look for yesterdays strength to follow through especially during the afternoon. A good line in the sand to buy against today is the upper .382 of 1352.50 with yesterdays high of 1358.25 as a minimum profit target and last weeks high of 1370.75 as an ultimate target. Weakness that breaks below the lower .382 of 1341.00 may offer a good short opportunity for a minimum profit target of last Fridays low of 1322.75 and perhaps lower. FOMC on Wednesday at 2:15pm ET should have bulls bidding the market higher this afternoon and through tomorrow morning. Be in the DATA chat room for the latest real time analysis.

S&P 500: Friday saw a gap up at the open that was almost immediately sold in to as a gap fill to Thursdays close occurred within the first 90 minutes and subsequent selling created an outside day that closed just below Thursdays low suggesting further selling today. Despite the ugly look in the S&P I am VERY bullish this week up until 2:15pm ET on Wednesday when the FOMC decision on interest rates will be announced. A break of Fridays low of 1328.25 that rebounds and maintains support above 1328.25 and the buy side is favored. Significant selling may lead back to the week before lasts low of 1315.75 whereupon support at or above that level is worth buying. Strength at the open that maintains above the open may be worth buying as well especially if support exists at or above the confluence of the lower .382 and the pivot as highlighted above. Having a bullish bias may be a day early today so be aware of the levels that you may want to buy against and do not buy below. I am ultimately looking for strength to come back in to the market off short-term weakness with a potential break above last weeks high of 1370.75 before the FOMC announcement.
