Futures Poinitng to a Slightly Higher Open...

10:21 am ET - The SPX is trading in a narrow six point range during the first 50 minutes of trading and is currently breaking out of Friday's high...so far today the SPX has made a higher low and now a slightly higher high...FUQI is on the move up +2.20 BMO - ES +3 and NQ +3 are slightly higher in pre-market trading pointing to a slightly higher open. The positives on Friday were a strong Nasdaq and a lower VIX. However the SPX did not move to the upside and the SOX was weak. Remember Friday was a high day with a narrow 9 point range on the SPX. Watch both Friday's high and low and go with today's trading direction...the existing short term move is up...but we will be tuned in for a possible short term reversal. Look at these charts...

The SPX traded in a narrow 9 point range on Friday forming a doji following Thursday’s large white candle. Friday represents a pause in the upward momentum which could lead to a short term reversal if Friday’s low is broken. Nasdaq momentum slowed as price formed a new high in its recent short term up trend. Many individual stocks like FUQI, TRLG, GXDX, SNHY, DECK, X, BIDU, AMX and AMZN have a strong day, but the indices just lack upward momentum. The SPX, Nasdaq and RUT all made a higher highs while the DJIA made a lower high. The relative weakness in momentum makes Monday a Yellow Alert for short term trades. Positives: Nasdaq moves higher VIX moves to new low Negatives: SOX fails to confirm SPX and DJIA move down SPX, DJIA and RUT at resistance and form bearish candle patterns Bottom Line: If the indices break the low of the high day on Monday look for a move back to the support levels of the sideways trading range in place for the past two months.

There are spinning tops on charts all the time, but I can’t remember the last time I saw soooo many spinning top on the hard right edge. Yes, it definitely is the pause before the Fed. Existing Home Sales came in at 4.77M below estimates of 4.85M, which was an increase of 2.4% and the highest level since October. The SPX had a small bounce after the news, which was considered positive but mixed and then traded in a tight 10 point range between 888 and 898 for the balance of the day, closing at 895. The market seems to be in a holding pattern waiting for the Fed announcement tomorrow at 2:15 pm ET. Before the open Durable Goods Orders are expected to be down -0.5% and at 10 am ET New Home Sales are expected to report at 365K. We would expect the market to look to the Fed announcement unless there is a negative surprise in these reports. As always trade according to your rules. Educational stocks APEI, CECO, COCO, CPLA, DV, EDU, ESI and STRA moved lower again. APOL gained 6 cents. Remember a bullish harami is a variation of a spinning top. Coal, Ag-related and other stocks forming a bullish harami: RIMM, VPRT, JEC, ANR, BTU, CNX MEE, MOS, IPI, CF, GS, MS, AEM, GDX and SCHN. A few stocks broke the high of the low day: GG, GOLD, NEM, AGU and POT.

Dave will be on VC Options from 3 to 5 pm MT today if you would like to join in and ask your market questions... 10:00 am ET - Existing Home Sales rise 2.4% to an adjusted annual rate of 4.77M less than the forecasted 4.85M, however the highest level since last October, SPX rises modestely... BMO - ES +4 and NQ +4 are higher in pre-market trading pointing to a slightly higher open. Last night in my AT Webcast I pointed out that the red Momentum Line was in the lower reversal zone which indicates there is approximately two out of three chances that the market will have at least a short term technical bounce today. If we see that bounce it is important to watch the key resistance levels. On the SPX they are 897 and 903 - 905 (also listed in Monday night's post) and on many individual stocks it is the R1 level of Monday's large black candle. If prices cannot break theses resistance levels that may be the point that new bearish positions can be entered and existing bullish positions exited. Also watch for the Existing Home Sales report this morning at 10 am ET, it will likely have an influence on the early tone of the market up or down if it is better or worse than expected...the forecast is to rise to 4.85M... This should be an exciting day... Look at these charts...

Sector Watch Up Trending: Horizontal Breakout: XLB, XLK, XLY, XLE Sideways: XLV, XLF, XLP, XLI, XLU Down Trending: SPX Key resistance levels: 897 = 50 DMA 903 – 905 = horizontal, 200 DMA & Monday’s R1 920 - 930 = horizontal 944 – 956 = January/June horizontal 962 = 161.8% Fib extension Key support levels: 875 = horizontal The SPX traded a 25 point range to the downside on Monday breaking its 903 horizontal support and 200 DMA and its 897 50 DMA level. Next level of support is the 875 horizontal support level. Monday’s sell off was attributed to the World Bank releasing its forecast that the world economy will contract by 2.9% in 2009 lower than its 1.7% forecast released in March. On Tuesday morning the Existing Home Sales report is expected to rise to 4.85 M. This could set the trading tone for a potential support bounce if it is positive or a continuation of Monday’s drop if the report is below expectations. Stay tuned and trade accordingly... Oil prices fell leading oil and energy stocks lower, XLE -5.00%, on the forecast of larger estimated economic contraction. Educational stocks APEI, APOL, CPLA, DV, ESI, COCO, and STRA did rollover as they bounced down from resistance and CECO and EDU gained 3 and 8 cents respectively.

Oh, don't get me wrong there was good news today. What you say? Total jobless claims fell by 148K, the largest drop in seven years. The DJIA and SPX reversed course and rose today. The number of advancing stocks increased for the third straight day. The VIX fell. The Financial sector was the strongest sector as six of nine sectors rose. And there was weak news. The Nasdaq and SOX indices fell not a good sign for a strong rally. Volume was light. The SPX ran into resistance at 921 and pulled back three plus points during the last hour before the close. This rally just didn't have broad strength. This may be due ot options exipration Friday with quadruple witching. Whatever the cause it was a step in the up direction and we'll look for potential follow through on Friday.
