S&P 500: A gap up at the open found resistance at our first ultimate profit target and faded with resistance offered twice at the open as suggested in DATA Morning Call and in DATA chat. The subsequent selling took the S&P to within a few ticks of breaking Tuesdays low before closing just off the low. Today it is reasonable to assume that yesterdays selling will continue and follow through with a break of yesterdays low of 1296.75 with 1279.50 and 1257.75 as ultimate targets. The buy side appears unlikely to be favored as we head in to a 3 day weekend but should support exist above the very loose confluence of the upper .382 and the pivot as highlighted above the buy side will be favored. For the last 4 sessions trading against the open as your line in the sand has been very effective. It is no wonder as traders try to gravitate to a common level given that range on the Fib Grid and Pivot Points has been so volatile and broad lately. Today is Quadruple witching given that tomorrow is Good Friday and U.S. markets will be closed. The March e-mini S&P expires today at 9:30am ET. Have a great Easter weekend!

S&P 500: A strong gap up at the open saw continued buying with only minor pullbacks in front of the 2:15pm ET FOMC announcement. A break of the low of the day after the announcement led to a rally well above the high of the day and a tick above last weeks high before closing just off the high of the day creating an outside week. Today it is reasonable to assume that yesterdays strength will continue. With the S&P parabolic on the chart it is also likely that any further rally will be a struggle with an inevitable minimum retracement to the upper .214 before continuing higher. Without any confluence today we will again focus on the open which offered a perfect dual point of support yesterday morning before rallying with a minimum profit target to the buy side of 1334.50 with 1345.00, 1365.75 and 1390.00 as ultimate targets. A gap up at the open and the short side will be 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 strong gap down at the open led to buying that fell apart by late morning breaking the low of the day only to rebound in the afternoon and trade through the high of the day suggesting further strength today. We have PPI at 8:30am ET which will help to define the morning session. The FOMC announcement at 2:15pm ET suggests we look to the buy side all morning today. Without any confluence today we will be looking at buying above the open except on a significant gap up in which case we may not even have a trade.

S&P 500: Strength at the open as a result of the CPI report was sold in to hard breaking below Thursdays low creating an outside day. Today is the day before the FOMC announcement which will likely bring out the bulls especially in the afternoon session. Weakness will likely be bought today. A gap down at the open and the buy side will be favored as long as trading above the open with a gap fill and positive momentum on the daily bars as a minimum profit target. Strength at the open that maintains support above the loose confluence of the lower .382 at 1294.50 and Fridays close of 1293.00 should be bought with Fridays high of 1325.50 as a minimum profit target. I am not a fan of the short side today.
