S&P 500: A gap up at the open broke above Tuesdays high only to retreat for the balance of the day retracing more than 80% to the low of the week. Look for yesterdays selling to continue today with yesterdays low of 1339.75 and Wednesdays low of 1336.25 as minimum profit targets with 1317.50 as an ultimate target. Again today we are lacking confluence and will be using yesterdays close of 1347.00 as our line in the sand to trade against. A break above 1352.50 and the buy side will be favored as long as trading with support above yesterdays close with 1369.25 as a minimum profit target and last weeks high of 1370.50, the 2/4 close 1378.75 and the 2/1 high of 1397.75 as ultimate targets. The S&P has been trading in the same range for 7 consecutive sessions and is due to break away. With no economic announcements today we may have to wait until next week.

S&P 500: A gap down at the open broke below last Fridays low only to rebound smartly in front of the FOMC minutes closing just off the high of the day. Yesterdays price action suggests further strength today and given there is no confluence today it is probably best that we use yesterdays close of 1359.00 as a line in the sand to trade against with yesterdays high of 1364.75 as a minimum profit target and Mondays high of 1368.50, last weeks high of 1370.50, the 2/4 close 1378.75 and the 2/1 high of 1397.75 as ultimate targets. Philly Fed at 10am ET may throw a curve ball at the bulls and if so, weakness that offers resistance below 1359.00 will likely be sold given the current negative momentum on the daily bars, especially if the S&P trades below 1348.75 with yesterdays low of 1336.25 as a minimum profit target and 1317.50 as an ultimate target.

S&P 500: A strong gap up at yesterdays open was sold against the entire day to find support to the tick at the lower .214 with a close that offered a 5 point premium over the cash close suggesting a good short. Today it is likely that yesterdays selling will continue. CPI at 8:30am ET will rule the morning session and FOMC minutes at 2pm ET will likely dictate the afternoon. We have confluence at the upper .382 and the pivot as highlighted above to trade against today with last Fridays low of 1338.25 as a minimum profit target and 1317.50 as an ultimate target. Strength that maintains support above confluence and the buy side is favored with yesterdays high of 1368.50 as a minimum profit target and last weeks high of 1370.50 as an ultimate target.

Resistance below loose confluence and the short side continues to be favored with 1338.25 as a minimum profit target and 1317.50 as an ultimate target.

S&P 500: A gap up at the open yesterday filled the gap back to Wednesdays close finding support at the pivot only to be sold to new lows for the balance of the day breaking well below Wednesdays low posting negative momentum on the daily bars. Today selling is likely to continue as long as resistance exists at or below the confluence of the lower .382 and the pivot as highlighted above with yesterdays low of 1347.25 as a minimum profit target with 1339.75, 1320.25 and 1317.50 as ultimate profit targets. We have important economic announcements pre-market and an early bond close that will likely affect the market today. Trading above 1358.50 and the buy side will be favored as long as support exists at or above confluence with the high of the week as an ultimate profit target.
