Economic reports due out (all times are eastern): Wholesale Trade (10)

Technical Outlook (SPX):

  • There is no conviction to the upside, if so, we’d be way above 1883 by now, instead when the price level breaks intraday, it just gives traders a reason to short the market.
  • However, the bears continue to let opportunity after opportunity slip through their hands and let the bulls by every dip. 
  • As a result you have a market that is in a stand off with the bulls and bears and neither one of them seem to be motivated to protect their turf. 
  • So the key will be the same tomorrow as before, to get long biased, the market needs a decisive break through 1883. Otherwise, the rallies should be sold at 1883. 
  • Before the momentum can really turn in the bear’s favor they need to push price below 1850.  
  • The 30-minute SPX chart is a bloody mess with no sense of direction. 
  • In this market, you have to be aggressive with the gains. Take them quick, and don’t expect them to last. 
  • The Market doesn’t care about the economy nor earnings. That is not what is driving it. The market only cares about what the Fed is doing to keep equities propped up.
