Technical Commentary:
QQQ -0.78%, SPY

-2.20%.
Sellers and buyers battled it out on Friday in a
volatile trading session the sent the SPX to its lowest close in two weeks. The SPX closed near its 1,288 short-term
support.
The VIX 20.97
ended January
with its highest monthly close since May of 2012 when it
closed at 24.06.
Positive
earnings reactions from AMZN +13.71% and
BIIB +10.17% led the SPX. Oil and
gas stocks NBR, CAM, NFX, MRO, HP, RIG, QEP, PXD, MPC and MUR were
SPX leaders gaining between 2% - 8%.
The SPX is at its January support level and has a new
MACD histogram bullish divergence.
The divergence suggests that the short-term downtrend is getting weaker. A bounce or continuation of the sideways
trend is more probable than a break of support, however traders
should be prepared for a potential break of support. The next support level below 1,988 is the
December support of 1,972.
Trade with the trend of
the chart you are trading and
