My Observations and What to Expect:
- Futures are currently break-even.
- No major news events scheduled for today.
- Bulls failed to push through the upper-line of the downward channel.
- We are basically stuck in a trendless market.
- Wedge forming on the S&P where a breakout/breakdown would signify a major shift in market sentiment.
- Difficult to take yesterday’s sell-off serious considering the light holiday volume and the overbought nature of the market.
- Some significant resistance levels overhead for the bulls: 200-day moving average at 1,115. The infamous 1,130 level is the most significant price level for the bulls to break through.
- The 1,104 price level will be what I am watching today.
- Bears need to aim for the 1,080/50-day moving average, and ultimately breaking the ultra-stubborn 1,040 price level.
