SPX/ES Market Outlook

Quote from e92335i08:

Look at this Daily chart of the transports breaking primary trend from october lows. Also divergence in all 3 indicators in this chart.

thanks for the pic. agreed trans appear to be rolling over. AAPL and Ralph L. may be the main stocks holding the market up lol. I looked at the TVIX vol, interesting observation. Looks like a new instrument, but i cant see volume increase on the way down on the last volatility contraction scenario. It was after the TVIX bottomed.
 
Agreed. Trans was the leading instrument, of course $100 oil doesn't help its cause.

ES/SPX hasn't had a down day where it closed at the low this year. It will be surprising, yet welcomed, to see it today. AAPL may have reached a psychological level at 500, and tech is giving us a courtesy pullback. The metals are declining off of resistance. Today's low is still above the 2/3/12 RTH low for the spy, which was a gap up day. Until that breaks, filling the gap is not even in the cards. Best guess for opex friday is 1350. Finally, I would be suprised if the people of Greece approved the impositions by the German government and the rest of the union. The effects, if this occurs, of this, will have to be seen at the ES open on Sunday.

Monday’s move was eluded to in the last few minutes of the ES session on Friday with a quick spike up. Greece apparently has been able to convince buyers the situation is better, resulting in today’s gap up. Half the gap was quickly filled, and thus far, the highs of the session have been targeted since. Thursday’s high appears to be holding so far. The levels of significant resistance are well known. But with AAPL going parabolic, and still being called undervalued, the move higher can continue. Still, with commodities up, which translates to fixed costs going up, one would think the market would not be so enthused. The VIX was up considerably Friday, some of that is being given up toa, but not as much as one might think. Looking for a cash close this week of about 1342.

Good Trading.

nailed it, the damage to personal wealth with these rates is striking.
 
With down days appearing to be outlawed, the market erased losses in a mere 30 minutes yesterday. Overnight, the rally continued with the ES hitting a new high for the year. The ticker is very responsive to news to the upside, yet shirks off negative news events. In this brief morning, spx has hit a new yearly high, likely soon to be eclipsed. DJ30 and Trans are negative which should be of note. Tech, however continues to march on into opex, as well as commodities. How higher prices for the consumer translates into a higher market is for the market to deduce. ES is well off the overnight high, if that high is taken out, it is likely straight to spx 1370.

Yet another ES/SPX 2012 high for the markets going into opex day, as well as approaching 52 week highs. SPX is nearly 300 points off the Oct low, and 200 points from the December low. DJ30 continues to move towards 13,000, and will most likely test it, and then some, allowing the spx to test the 1370 high of 2011. DJTrans has made an impressive 2 day move, and may no longer appear to be rolling over at this point, it remains to be seen. Metals have appeared to have stabilized for now, yet crude continues to move higher. Tech, so far, is not leading as much as recently, AAPL is taking a small breather, but MSFT looks like it may be finally waking up. We could be witnessing the awaking of a sleeping giant, if MSFT continues its move, this after a decade of sideways movement. Markets are in the midst of major high points, and therefore, resistance, and could roll over any time. Support zones are now 1280-1300, with several minor support zones in between. However, the safe bet is to stay with the trend and with the channel.
