2 Day Cycle Target of 1352-53 Hit On Open, Market Tries For More

SP futures (or ES electronic mini S&P) traded flat through most of the night, then went into rally mode at 7 AM NY time, topping out on release of the weekly unemployment claims, which beat expectations. The futures have since been walking sideways, just above the converged 2 and 5 day cycle centerlines, which are also walking sideways at approximately 1346. That level should be support. The next support level would be around 1335. Resistance is around 1357. 2 day cycle indicators are on the buy side, but at risk of edging to the sell side if the pullback in NY’s opening minutes is not arrested.

Here’s a look at the Spoos 30 minute bar chart (time stamp in upper right corner).

SPX cash opened with little movement, seemingly hemmed in at the 8-13 day cycle centerline at 1351 with the 5 day cycle centerline coming up at 1349. They could mark a congestion area, but would be come either support or resistance, depending if whether the market moved above or below them. They are essentially moving sideways with a slight uptilt, so this could be shaping up as another dull rangebound day. A 2 day cycle projection of 1352-53 was hit on the opening pop. If they can get past that, then there’s room to run to the next indicated resistance area around 1356-57.
