Weekly pointing higherSPY closed up 0.29% in lacklustre trade on Friday. A damp squib of a trading day Fri since on monthly options expiration there vigorous two way trades. The weekly and daily chart both continue to point higher prices. 256 companies are reporting this week, amongst them tech bellwethers MSFT and TSLA. Positive forward guidance of these companies can impart impetus to the up move. ES futes are marginally down -5.38 handles as of now but NQ futes are up 33 handles suggesting a mixed opening today.

Bifurcated marketsSPY lost -0.6% on Thursday. DJIA lost 1.4%. And IWM lost -2%. But Nasdaq gained +0.5% on the heels of tech heavy institutional darlings. Earlier in the day SPY had lost -60 handles, but recouped some losses by day's end. Today's overall weakness is shown by declining issues over advancing issues by a 3:1 margin at the NYSE and a 2:1 margin at the Nasdaq. ES futures are red by -10.25 handles as of now. NY Advance/Decline issues are sloping down and just perched above 50% level. Nasdaq and NY Mcmillan oscillators RSI's are below 50% suggesting declining markets ahead. But still the broad 300-320 range holds on SPY. Only a trader's market at present.

Stuck in a boxSPY closed up 0.76% yesterday after a wicked 30 handle liquidation break in one 30 min late morning trade. That's how the institutions scoop up shares. SPY is stuck in a box for past 22 trading days with support at 294 and resistance at 323. Volatility has come down. Squeeze mom indicator is gradually trending up. Support is seen in 306-311 zone. At present SPY is digesting the big gains from Mar 23. Looks like it SPY wants to head higher per TA. ES futures have trades listlessly in the ON session with a slightly bearish bias. ES futures are down -5 handles as of now.

Monday's up open trend continuesLast Fri early morning gap up faded sharply by day's end but still SPY managed a 0.55% gain. Another Monday and bulls are pushing ES futures higher by 40 handles as of now. World markets are also substantially higher than the close on Fri with China H-shares up 5.67%. SPY is forming another squeeze and looking ready for a move higher this month. Squeeze momentum indicator is curling up negating the down slope of last week. A close above SPY 313.40 will likely propel the index higher.

Dip buyingSPY closed up +1.5% on Monday. Closing up on Monday has been a trend since 4/20. For bears to stamp their imprint SPY needs to close below 300 for at least two days. Though SPY remains vulnerable to a decline economic green shoots are supportive of the markets. Housing data was positive on Monday as signed contracts for housing impressed, pending home sales increased substantially, and mortgage apps have been strong. Overcoming, for the time being, impact of increase in COVID cases in states like Texas, Florida, Arizona, and California, Today's economic data includes Chicago PMI, Case-Shiller Home price index, and Consumer Confidence Index. Powell and Mnuchin talk with Congress today. Market moving potential. ES futures traded listlessly in overnight session and are down -5.5 handles as of now.

Bears getting strongerSPY got crushed -2.4% on Friday. Support zone is at 296.5- 298.5 at 50 DMA and 200 DMA respectively. All major indices again lost more then 2% on Friday. Remember the 6% one day drop 12 days back. Well, that's a gonzo bearish candle. We are now in a new bearish channel. For me to turn bullish ES futures first need to take out 3157 (SPY 316) and then 3188.50 (SPY 319). The clue for the bearish market is sick XLF (-4.3% loss on Friday). But always be wary of market supportive: -Tweets -FED actions -Corona vaccine planted news

Open up, close dowmSPY up +0.4% on Tuesday, after being up 1% earlier in the day on the back of ES futures buoyancy. In the past 10 trading days, 7 days SPY have opened higher and closed lower suggesting stealth selling by the institutions. Nasdaq Composite (+0.7%) closed up for its 8th day straight advance. Nasdaq mega caps consistently provide narrow leadership for the market. Economic green shoots data...home sales up 16.6% m/m in May. Indicator continues to build negative divergence. But SPY stays comfortably above support zone. ES futures down -29 handles as of now. Corona doubts pressing European indices, and thus ES futures. Maybe negative open for SPY for a change. If so, watch out for gap down and fail. And then a ramp up.

Same oldES futures are again buoyant in the morning and at present up 21.5 handles. That's been the pattern most of the time since Mar 23. Let's see if they fade SPY during RTH again, as has also been the pattern lately. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From Motley Fool. Bear case about why the next crash is on its way. 1. Our COVID-19 knowledge is still evolving 2. A second wave of infection appears likely 3. Business activity will be slow to bounce back 4. Stimulus funding is nearing an end 5. Second- and third-quarter earnings will be awful 6. Wall Street can't provide stepping stones for Q2 or Q3 7. Say goodbye to share buybacks and some dividends 8. Mortgage loan defaults are likely to rise... 9. ... As are auto loan delinquencies 10. The Federal Reserve has used up its "traditional firepower" IMO, for bears to get traction SPY needs to close below support zone. Market bullish case: FED put supports markets. Economic green shoots are sprouting.,

Outside Distibution day follows Narrow Range daySPY closed -0.6% lower on quadruple-witching expiration this Friday. SPY was up 1.3% on the open on the back of ES futures that gained strength in overnight session from European stimulus and China's trade news.

At one time SPY was down -1.0% before dribbling to a weak close. In the past 8 day's, 6 red candles and 2 green candles, suggesting low vol futures ramp up in overnight session followed by bearish action in regular trading hours (RTH). But still SPY 300 support zone holds and SPY remains in no man's land. While indicator divergence gathers steam. VIX perked up. If VIX again trades above 40 expecting stronger bearish action on the tape. SPY levels R3 322.23 R2 317.70 R1 313.17 DP 309.85 S1 305.32 S2 302.00 S3 297.47

Narrow range (NR7) day with bullish undertoneWho would have thought that the narrowest days of the past 7 days will be printed one day before quad witching. But here we are. SPY closed down 0.1% yesterday. Unemployment data came in tepid, with continuing claims at 20.544 million for the week ending June 6. OTOH, Philly FED index turned positive and Leading Economic index clocked in at +2.8%, the first increase since Jan. FED back stop and some emerging green shoots provide a bullish undertone to the markets. ES futures are perking up +30 handles as of now as Europe talks more stimulus today. SPY Resistance: R3 315.09 R2 313.99 R1 312.88 Daily Pivot: 311.20 Support: S1 310.09 S2 308.41 S3 307.30 Hi 313.17 314.24

An Inside dayIn past 6 trading days SPY has open higher than the close. They are selling the up gaps. And buying the down gaps, as happened on the only green day in the past 6 days. Yesterday traced out an inside day. Usually trading in the direction of the break of an inside day pays off. However, at present, ES futures are trading 22.50 handles lower promising a gap down open. Not sure if they will gap and go or gap and fail. Jobs report at 8:30 am can be a market mover. Will wait till settles in the first 30 minutes before trading, if at all. Support and SPY 300 holding steady.

Stabilized after liquidation breakLiving up to the volatility expected in quad witching week RTH session opened about 2.5%, algo's liquidation break slammed SPY down to almost 0%. BTD bulls came in to stabilize market to finally close SPY up 1.9%. SPY at 312.96, comfortably above support. ES futures are again buoyant up +17.25 handles as of now suggesting SPY open about 0.5% higher. FED chair speaks again today at the House. Expect him to reiterate that the FED will do whatever is needed to keep the economy from rolling over. Bullish for markets. But if FED chair says some words that are percieved as not so supportive then the market is be ripe for another liquidation break. SPY fulcrum remains 300. Indicator developing cautionary divergence.

FED jaw boningAt one time in the overnight session ES futures were down -2.5%. About afternoon FED chimed in with an unexpected announcement that it will start buying individual corporate bonds. That jaw boning was enough to propel SPY to a gain of 0.9% by end of trading day. ES futures are again bouyant, up 34 handles as of now. The indicator is showing divergence but support is holding well. SPY 300 has been defended strongly by the bulls to date. Markets react well to positive news (FED support, infrastructure spending) and ignore negative news (corona, unemployment picture, economic malaise, protests). That's how the markets are trading right and being bullish above SPY 300 and the support zone has been paying off.

Changing trendSPY opened up euphorically, up 2.9% at it's high for the day. Strong 2 way trade ensued as expected (noted yesterday). Index closed up 1.3%, but much lower than the open. Thursday's strong down trend day was followed by sell into strength of Friday. Rips were sold, dips were grudgingly bought. SPY was down as much as 0.6% before buyers closed up the index for the day. For the week, SPY lost 5%. Almost an outside week. 300 held like a champ, through 2 tests. 4 day island top is big resistance. RSI is at 51.97%. When below 50% I expect deeper sell-off. Quad witching is coming Friday. Last quad witching was on Mar 15, a strong down week, Indicator divergence is notable on the chart.
