Futures Lower After Job Loss Greater Than Expected...

3:10 pm ET - The SPX made it low of the day in the first 5 minutes of trading...the SPX touched 1, 019.95 after the release of the worse than expected jobs report...since that time the SPX has traded higher reaching the intra-day high of 1,030.60...currently trading at 1,027.51...Several stocks have bounced since the open...AAPL +4.90...WYNN +2.38...PCLN +1.40...FCX +0.46...HANS +0.39...MRVL +0.22...FSLR +6.20...BIDU +3.95...IVZ +1.19 9:40 am ET - The SPX opens lower and moves up from low...as I mentioned last night in my webcast...perhaps a worse than expected employment report, which ocurred this morning, pushes sellers to dump stocks and create a capitulation bottom to this pullback...we'll see as the SPX hits 1,020...AAPL is +2.35... BMO – ES -11 and NQ -13 futures are lower in pre-market trading after the Labor Department reported that 263,000 jobs were lost in September above expectations of 180,000. The unemployment rate rose to 9.8% inline with expectations. AAPL +0.83, GOOG -3.83 and BIDU -3.02 are mixed in pre-market trading. SPX Support = 1,025…1,017…1,007 Resistance = R1 = 1,044 Look at these Charts… (click image to enlarge) At the Open on Friday SPY – QQQQ – AAPL – BIDU – GOOG – PCLN – ISRG – BDK – CAT – DOW – FLS – FWLT – WHR – X – JOYG – PCP – AXP – BAC – FAS – SPG – ZION – WLT – FUQI – PWRD – FCX – CAM – NKE – ARO – GES – FLIR – UAUA –

Morning Dave, thanks for all you do. So are we there yet?? I mean do we have lower highs and lows yet or is it premature to say the intermediate trend has switched. thanks so much.

Forget my previous question Dave, the market has answered and this bounce off the Capitulation sell off this morning was impressive! I was busy buying into Weakness so thanks again for your guidance

Hi Dave.

I haven't seen the unemployment results yet and as you say, maybe that contributes to this morning's continued pull back.

But, I am going to keep reading the carts and trade according to that.

Thank you!
