S&P 500: Strength at the open yesterday was quickly sold to well below Wednesdays low only to rally through the high of the day whereupon an exhaustion sent the S&P back through the low of the day just missing last Thursdays close by 2 points. Today the short side continues to be favored as long as trading with resistance below the confluence of the lower .214 and the pivot with yesterdays low of 1326.50 as a minimum profit target with last Thursdays close at 1324.75 and the old Fib Grid low of 1295.50 as ultimate targets. The S&P has been selling since Monday afternoon and is far from throwing the baby out with the bath water as each break tends to be bought suggesting that smart/big money is accumulating weakness. A rally today is not out of the question and above yesterday afternoons swing high of 1343.25 we could see a short squeeze that tests the high of the week. Spring break for my boys begins today and we will be traveling until Sunday, April 6th. Today will be the last DATA Morning Call until Monday the 7th. I will do my best while away to keep the DATA chat room up and running but I will not be hosting.

S&P 500: A gap down at the open maintained resistance around the open for the balance of the day closing poorly creating a capitulation from positive momentum to negative momentum on the daily bars after breaking Tuesday and Mondays low. Today the short side is favored as long as trading with resistance below the confluence of the lower .214 and the pivot (a powerful combination) as highlighted above with yesterdays low of 1334.00 as a minimum profit target and the gap fill to last Thursdays close at 1324.75 and the old Fib Grid low of 1295.50 as ultimate targets. Trading above confluence and all bets off the short side. The government continues to try to prop up the markets and the buy side needs to be respected regardless of momentum so be sure to use stops. Profit targets to the buy side are 1349.50, 1351.50 and 1361.50 as an ultimate target. GDP at 8:30am ET will likely set the tone for at least the morning session. If the 5-Year Note Auction at 1:00pm ET is not received well we could see significant selling in both equities and treasuries. Spring break for my boys begins this Friday and we will be traveling until Sunday, April 6th. This Friday will be the last DATA Morning Call until Monday the 7th.

S&P 500: A flat open led to a quick pop and then sold down to well below confluence before rebounding and breaking well above the high of the day only to miss our minimum profit target of 1361.50 posting a rare inside day leaving us with the same Fib Grid as yesterday. Today look for Mondays strength to continue as long as trading above the confluence of the pivot and yesterdays close with Mondays high of 1361.50 as a minimum profit target and 1365.75 and 1390.00 as ultimate targets. Durable Goods at 8:30am ET will likely set the tone for at least the morning session. Be in the DATA chat room for the latest real time analysis.

S&P 500: A gap up at the open was bought to well after noon before finally relaxing in to the close creating a continuance of positive momentum on the weekly bars. Today the buy side is still favored as long as trading with support above the very loose confluence of the upper .214 and the pivot as highlighted above with 1361.50 as a minimum profit target and 1365.75 and 1390.00 as ultimate targets. Expect ascent above 1361.50 to be a struggle as we now have over 66 points on the Fib Grid.

S&P 500: A quick break of Thursdays low led to a rally that put the squeeze on option traders that were short the market on Friday. A strong close suggests further strength today. The S&P is a buy today as long as trading with support above the confluence of Fridays close and today's upper .382 with Thursdays high of 1343.75 as a minimum profit target and 1365.75 and 1390.00 as ultimate targets. Momentum is still negative on the daily and monthly bars suggesting the bear is in control, but last weeks price action left us with an outside week that closed with high relative strength which suggests the trend may be turning. Weakness that maintains resistance below confluence should be sold short with 1295.50 as a minimum profit target and 1279.50 and 1257.75 as ultimate targets.
