SHORT TERM: pullback resumes, DOW -27
Overnight the Asian markets lost 0.2%. Europe opened lower and lost 0.7%. US index futures were lower overnight, and the market opened 4 points below Friday’s SPX 2271 close. In the opening minutes the market popped to SPX 2272, then resumed its decline. At 11:30 the SPX hit 2257, and then did a zigzag up to 2267, before closing at 2265.
For the day the SPX/DOW lost 0.25%, and the NDX/NAZ were mixed. Bonds gained 19 ticks, Crude lost 40 cents, Gold rose $8, and the USD was lower. Medium term support drops again to the 2212 and 2177 pivots, with resistance at the 2270 and 2286 pivots. Tomorrow: existing home sales at 10am.
The market opened lower today, turned slightly positive at SPX 2272, then dropped to SPX 2257. The rest of the day it just drifted higher. The recent decline from SPX 2279, a week ago Friday, looks fairly symmetrical: 2258-2277-2257. Overall, however, the market activity remains choppy and looks corrective. The DOW has been weak, the NDX/NAZ stable, and the SPX appears caught in the middle. Looks like the Techs need to lead lower if a downtrend in underway. Short term support drops to SPX 2254 and SPX 2245, with resistance at the 2270 and 2286 pivots. Short term momentum dropped to oversold at today’s low, then bounced to neutral. Best to your trading!

At what point will you be nuking the IP addresses of the folks here who refuse to comply with your request to squash the political debate here ?
And if you haven’t reached that point would it be ok for me to engage them as to hasten their journey to a complete melt down here on the blog like so many before them ?
For a bunch of hot shots they sure show no signs of discipline.
Thanks and have a nice Tuesday 😉

The only guy I know who ever ordered a nuke drop had a middle name of S.
Understand it is getting a bit annoying.
Sometimes they seem oddly indirect references to the market.
But overall they are not.
Guess will just have to start deleting them again.
