Technical Commentary: 
QQQ + 0.71%, IWM + 0.50%, DIA + 0.41%, SPY + 0.40%.
 
QQQ and IWM each make a new high close as expectations grow of a budget and debt-ceiling deal.  The SPY rose making its third highest close behind Sep 18 and 19.  Sectors XLB, XLE, XLI, XLK, XLV and XLY each closed above their late July early August resistance and closing in on their September highs.  XLF which is still in a 3-month channel has money rotating back in the sector and has gained 4.29% since last Wednesday’s close.
 
Many earnings start on Tuesday and should provide plenty of opportunity for both bullish and bearish gaps.
 
MU +0.20, +1.37 found support following profit-taking following its earnings on Thursday.  It makes for an attractive bounce setup.
 
Resistance Chart Targets:
QQQ = 79.69
SPY = 172.76
 
Remember it is big money that creates and sustains the trend.  As Granville once wrote, “technical analysis is the art of tracking the market, following the footsteps of the ‘smart money’ crowd.  The ‘smart money crowd’ is no mysterious ‘THEY.’  It is simply a collection of people who are reading the market correctly, seeing through the maze, unconfused by this hall of mirrors.”
 
Short-term market posture is SPY up.
Support Levels
ES = 1,685, 1,672, 1,660, 1,641
SPY = 168.33, 167.08, 165.31, 164.62
QQQ = 78.40, 77.36, 76.79, 75.99
