SHORT TERM: gap up opening, DOW +143
Overnight the Asian markets gained 0.4%. Europe opened higher and gained 0.8%. US index futures were higher overnight. The market gapped up at the open to SPX 2323, and continued to rise. The SPX had closed at 2316 on Friday. With 2-point pullbacks along the way the market rose to SPX 2332 by 1:30. Then a pullback into the close ended the day at SPX 2328.
For the day the SPX/DOW gained 0.60%, and the NDX/NAZ gained 0.55%. Bonds lost 6 ticks, Crude dropped 95 cents, Gold slid $8, and the USD was higher. Medium term support rises to the 2321 and 2286 pivots, with resistance at the 2336 and 2385 pivots. Tomorrow: the PPI at 8:30, then FED chair Yellen’s congressional economic testimony at 10am.
The market gapped up at the open today, jumping over the OEW 2321 pivot. It then cleared that pivot and rallied to within 4 points of the 2336 pivot. Considering Monday’s have been generally down days for the past five weeks, rallying right up to the 2336 pivot was an impressive beginning to the week. This rally, from Wednesday’s SPX 2285 low, looks quite impulsive. Should the market clear the 2336 this week, then the next pivot is not until 2385. Short term support is now at the 2321 and 2286 pivots, with resistance at the 2336 and 2385 pivots. Short term momentum remained quite overbought all day, and ended overbought. Best to your trading!

interesting juncture, a lot of people looking for 2336 area to short, which means a lot of juice to squeeze higher if it want to. at least we will all know its for real.

Correction: Here are my thoughts on the DOW chart using the OEW count…

Right, I think I’m off by a wave degree…like you have on the Dow chart, on the SPX I think I meant pico 4 of nano 3, which is part of Tony’s micro 3 currently underway. Just trying to say the final thrust up of nano 3 may be upon us. But then there’s still nano 4 and 5 before micro 3 concludes, and then micro 4 and 5 beyond that to conclude minute 3 (Tony’s green label). 3 of a 3 of a 3…of a 3…

Holy negative divergence batman……………………and right at the hugely important 2336
hmmmm me think we are close…………….I think we needed that one last incremental high. Im sorry but Goldman Sachs will never ever ever be a company that produces a consistent stream of revenue and they are not a bank so I don’t care how much rates go up it doesn’t help them as much as BAC or JPM. To push that stock up post election almost 50% in that short time frame is a bubble. And their are a bunch of them………………not small companies but big companies. Lots of companies reporting crappy earnings and lowered outlooks and they are at new highs. Im not saying we wont be higher six months out. I am just saying the pricing here is stupid

Everyone was bearish when Tony’s 2016 count came out. Now everyone’s bullish. Watch the PRICE ACTION. When price action and crowd differ in their positions then you know where to put your trade!
