S&P 500: As suggested in yesterdays DATA Morning Call, Wednesdays strength continued with support at confluence and a break to a new high on the week. Today it is likely that strength continues as long as trading with support above the upper .214 of 1364.00 with 1374.50 as a minimum profit target and 1389.00 as an ultimate target. The pressure is definitely to the buy side and today is options expiration day so those that sold calls last week will be feeling the heat and the need to hedge suggesting we could get another significant move up. A break below yesterdays low of 1358.50 and the short side is favored as long as trading with resistance below 1364.00 with 1347.00 as a minimum profit target and 1325.00 as an ultimate target.

S&P 500: Tuesdays late day strength followed through yesterday with a gap up at the open and a short squeeze in the afternoon that as suggested in the DATA chat room was an excellent shorting opportunity at the close. Today the buy side remains favored as long as trading above the loose confluence of the upper .214 and the pivot as highlighted above with 1371.50 as a minimum profit target and 1389.00 as an ultimate target. A gap up at the open and the short side is 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 gap up at the open was met with selling that did not abate until Mondays low was broken posting an outside day before an afternoon rally tested but could not break the high of the day. Unlike Monday, yesterdays price action does leave us with a bullish signature that suggests further strength today. As long as trading with support above the confluence of today's pivot at 1333.25 and the upper .382 of 1333.50 and the buy side is favored with yesterdays high of 1338.75 as a minimum profit target with 1352.00, 1362.75 and 1369.25 as ultimate targets. A break below 1329.50 and the short side is favored as long as trading with resistance below confluence with 1325.00 as a minimum profit target and 1313.50 as an ultimate target. We have several important economic announcements today that will likely have an impact on the market. Be in the DATA chat room for the latest real-time analysis.

S&P 500: Weakness at the open yesterday led to a break of Fridays low only to ultimately close just 2 ticks below Fridays low after posting a relatively tight range day similar to last Tuesday and the 5th consecutive day of negative momentum. Although yesterdays price action is far from bullish, we cannot ignore that 5 days down and we need to be looking for the next leg up. Above the confluence of today's pivot at 1332.00 and last weeks low at 1331.75 and we will be working the buy side with yesterdays high of 1337.25 as a minimum profit target and a gap fill to last Thursdays close of 1362.75 and high of 1369.25 as ultimate targets. PPI and earnings announcements pre-market will likely set the tone for the day and weakness that offers resistance below confluence and the short side will be favored with 1327.25 as a minimum profit target and 1313.50 as an ultimate target.

S&P 500: A gap down at the open on Friday led to resistance at Thursdays low selling more than 30 points below the previous days close. Fridays weakness is likely to follow through today with a break of Fridays low offering a capitulation to negative momentum on the weekly bars. The bears are in control today as long as trading with resistance below the lower .214 of 1344.00 with Fridays low of 1331.75 as a minimum profit target and 1313.50 as an ultimate target. Trading above 1344.00 with support and an attempt to fill the gap back to Thursdays close at 1362.75 is likely. We have an important week of economic announcements including most major banks and the potential for more bad news. We also have important economic announcements starting Tuesday which may offer some optimism this afternoon given we are now 4 and potentially 5 days without positive momentum on the daily bars.
