Hello Everyone,
Hope you enjoyed your weekend and started your trading week the right way.

2.Upcoming Reports
3.Support and resistance for Tuesday
4. SP 500 chart (Daily Cash)
1. Recap:
Equities rallied as concerns over suspect accounting practices abated. Optimists came back out from their hiding places and started buying up stocks at some bargain prices after the dismal market performance last week.
With little in the way of market altering news today, traders are speculating on the numbers to be released for retail sales Wednesday, and producer prices, industrial production, and consumer sentiment on Friday. This Friday is also triple witching.
Light volume today.
The March S&P 500 index closed higher perhaps confirming last Friday's key reversal up. Session highs fell just short of testing this winter's downtrend line crossing near 1113.70.
I personally see the 1116.50 level on the March SP as a crucial level to watch (also on a closing basis).

The following commentary was posted on the Elliot Wave site:
"Steady improvement now has S&Ps at the brink of a break out. Corrective action that can hold this level should set up for a further run to 1135. The cash S&P reversed higher in what might be a bullish "thrust" out of the triangle."
Please contact me with any questions and have a good trading week!
