Stocks...
Spu’s…2054-62 is the level Bulls will look for breaks to hold over the next two days.
We’ve seen two equidistant moves over the last 5 trading days.
It’s now about where the Dow & S&P close on the year and expand from this recent range going into the new year.
Bonds...
30 Yr. …154.10-14 should stop any initial retest higher the first time up.
FX…
Commodities…
Oil... 34.50-34.00 is support. 38.99 is resistance.
General Comments or Valuable Insight.
Spu’s are right back at the Fed meeting highs. I’d think you’d see some low volume wiggle back down to test the meddle of the Bulls into the moving averages.
Having said that, daily market tone has generally setup in the first 5 minutes of trade for the past 2 weeks.
The expected capital flow for the first trading day of the year is up.
Traders have already started to position themselves for this flow as to not chase strength the first trading day of the new year.
This year Globex is open Sunday night so Futures traders can front run the expected cash buy orders.
The only #’s that matter are tomorrow’s closes.
Our quarterly technical road map will be published over the weekend.
