This is the SPX’s fourth highest close since November 5, 2008 only surpassed by three trading days in early June. We have maintained for weeks that the current chart pattern was a sideways trading range. Last week when we were loudest solo voice that this was likely a head and shoulders top, most people were licking their chops on the money they were going to make to the downside. We said in our Thursday webcast on July 9, like it or not the technical evidence does not suggest that a break of support is likely. We almost begged people to do the right thing and get long. We were almost the only up trending (what some call bullish) voice out there. We also said that the SPX was not likely to move more than 30 to 40 points unless there was a catalyst that got buyers going. We said that better than expected earnings could be that catalyst. What did the market do? Exactly what was most probable based on the chart. It bounced off of support, ironically with the strongest four day rise we have see since the week of March 9, the first week of the current four month up trend. The catalyst better than expected earning from GS and INTC spurring buying interest in financial and technology stocks including bands and semiconductor stocks. We have maintained for weeks that this sideways consolidation was a trend continuation pattern and that it would most likely resolve to the upside. The SPX is back up to the 940 – 950 resistance area and will need another positive catalyst to push through the two resistance formed in early July. The most likely source again is earnings. Thursday was a high day so it is important to realize if the market does not get another catalyst that today’s low represent an important short term support area for short term traders. While it is too early to say that Thursday’s low will be breached, we need to stay focused on it, if it is broken. Once again Yellow Alert. Friday is options expiration so be prepared for some extra volatility.

The market gapped up after the INTC earnings in Tuesday’s after-hours trading and futures prices kept moving higher overnight. The SPX had a strong trend day with only modest pullbacks during the day and closed near its daily high. Propelled by INTC, the SOX closed at its highest level since June 10. A rising SOX is confirmation of the rising Nasdaq. The SPX closed at the 930 horizontal level. A modest pullback staying above its 922 S1 level would be bullish, similar to Tuesday's pause after Monday's large rise. So far the catalyst for this week's rise has been strong earnings from GS and INTC and economic releases that contained no unbearable negative surprises.

Futures Pointing to a Higher Open...

BMO - ES +7 and NQ +8 futures are higher in pre-market trading pointing to a higher open. This could lead to a gap open on the SPX and SPY. Often on a gap up the market will cool off after about 20 minutes pull back and then resume its up ward direction. If the market does gap look for support bounce entry opportunities as price breaks the high of the low day which on the indices and many individual stock charts was on Wednesday. Dave's Insight: Traders who allow a bearish mentality to creap into their thinking, often are not able to see the support bounce in a sideways trend opportunity until it is too late. Make every effort to see legitimate opportunities where they exist on the chart for your own benefit. Look at these Charts...

Futures Point to a Flat Open

BMO - ES -1 and NQ -1 futures are slightly lower in pre-market trading pointing to a flat open. Futures were up 2 points a few minutes ago and now down slightly so they are fluctuating before the open. Remember the SPX is just above its 875 support area and the hammers on the chart Monday failed to confirm on Tuesday. If this market breaks support be prepared to trade lower. Last Wednesday's Yellow Alert that turned red on Thursday has paid off for short term traders. Look at these Charts...

Yellow Alert Turns to Red...

Stocks broke the low of the high day on Thursday leading to lower prices on the last day of trading before the three-day July 4 Independence Day holiday weekend. DJIA - -223.32, -2.62% SP500 - 26.91, -2.91% NASDAQ Comp. - 49.20, -2.66% Russell 2000 - 20.25, -3.91% Exchange NYSE NASD Advancing 512 454 Declining 2,440 2,246 Oil $66.73 -$2.58 Gold $930.70 -$10.30 SOX 263.81 -3.21 VIX 27.95 +1.73 The VIX moved up and did confirm the move down in the SPX on Thursday. Strongest Sectors: XLP -2.10%...XLV -2.39%...XLK -2.52% Weakest Sectors: XLY -4.05%...XLE -4.01%...XLF -3.46% All nine sectors moved lower on Thursday. Consumer Staples, Healthcare, Technology, Material and Utilities were stronger than the SPX -2.91%. Financial stocks weaker than XLF -3.45%: PRU, SPG, AFL, MET, RF, IVZ, MS, TRV, JPM, WFC, TROW, ALL, CB, BK, PNC, AOC and ETFs UYG and FAS. Tech stocks weaker than XLK -2.52%: ADBE, ADP, ORCL, DELL, IBM, GLW, MSFT, EMC, YHOO and EBAY. Sector Watch Up Trending: Horizontal Breakout: XLB, XLK, XLY Sideways: XLE, XLV, XLF, XLP, XLI, XLU Down Trending: SPX Key resistance levels: 908 = 50 DMA 920 = horizontal end of May high 930 = horizontal 944 – 956 = January/June horizontal 962 = 161.8% Fib extension Key support levels: 888 = June 22 weekly low 887 = 200 DMA 875 = horizontal The broad indices as well as many individual stocks broke the low of the high day as our Yellow Alert turned red. A potential exit signal for short term traders. The SPX broke the support of the 50 DMA and the S1 level of June 25 to close at 896. The sell off was broad but on light volume as DJIA volume was a below average 157 million shares. This sell off appears to be an absence of buyers rather than the sellers in strong control. This is not overly surprising in front of a three day weekend as many short term traders like to be in cash over long weekends. We’ll see on Monday if buyers reappear. The SPX is near horizontal support levels of the past 8 weeks. The red momentum line is in the lower reversal zone suggesting approximately two out of three chances for a technical support bounce on Monday.
