Futures Point to a Lower Open...

BMO – ES -18.50 and NQ -27.00 futures are lower about 20 minutes before the open in pre-market trading and point to a lower open, following Asia and Europe trading lower…global economic growth and debt are reported as concerns once again …volume is moderate for pre-market with many more stocks quoting down than up…Financial stocks, XLF is down 21 cents on 246,400 volume in pre-market…

TLT is down 5 cents and the Euro is up 85 pips in premarket trading…

NDX leaders AAPL, AMZN, BIDU, GOOG, NFLX, PCLN and QCOM are quoting lower in pre-market trading…

Dave’s Insight for Friday:  Pre-market action suggests a pull back to the 1,119 support area…watch if this level of support holds…remember gaps have a tendency to at least partially fill sometime in the first hour…Posture turned bearish on Thursday, Green Line is still above 20 and on a reversal could turn back up…Follow your rules for entries this morning for bullish and bearish trades… A good technical trader is objective and trade each chart according to their rules…Watch XLF which is still a key factor in any SPX move up or down…
