S&P, yesterday’s close: Settled at 5517.00, down 17.25
NQ, yesterday’s close: Settled at 19,750.75, down 232.00
E-mini S&P and E-mini NQ futures finished lower to start the week but there was a stark difference in price action across sectors. The E-mini S&P’s -0.3% was certainly dragged by tech with the SMH (Semis) plunging by -3.4%. However, gains across XLF (Financials) +0.63%, XLV (Healthcare) +0.19%, XLE (Energy) +1.7%, and XLU (Utilities) +0.5%, glued the session together. In fact, E-mini Dow futures notched a positive session at +0.66%. At the onset of today and as we stare down the final trading days of Q2, it begs the question whether this is the start of a significant rotation or just simply a healthy pullback in the market darlings.
What we do know is the E-mini NQ traded into our rare major four-star support at 19,732-19,757 late yesterday and price action has so far responded. There is also a significant area of support in the E-mini S&P defined below as the market leans into 5500, aligning multiple levels with the consolidation pennant from June 12-14th. Look for responsive action in the first hour of today’s trade and it could set a bullish tone accompanied by potential window-dressing into the quarter’s end.
