Good Monday morning!




Last week saw a blast off higher of over 425 points in the S&P, or a move of almost 9% from Monday's lows to Friday's close! Now of course the markets saw a pullback of over 20% recently, but that was overdone in our opinion, and the markets desperately need a pullback anyway! For now, though, the pendulum has swung back to the bulls and I will give you the key levels to watch moving forward to confirm this point!





In the longer term cash market (SPX), as long as price stays over 5490, then the edge remains with the buyers, and my next short term targets are 5571 and then 5645. Please remember this is the cash market! I will give you the numbers to watch in the ES futures markets in a second below. Please note I am not saying we will get to 5571 and then 5645 today, but these are in my crosshairs for now. IF 5490 is lost in the SPX, meaning we have a confirmed close below 5490 today, then all bets are off in the short term.






In the shorter term ES futures markets, in the profile pic and key levels below, as long as price stays above 5517-5511, then the edge remains with the buyers! Any price action that can get above 5551-5554.50, then that is even more bullish and you can look for upper targets at 5590-5600. IF upper targets are taken out then the next stop will be 5620-5630.




Now, if sellers step up their game and take price below 5517-5511, then look for lower targets at 5485-5475. Any price action below that then look for 5460 to 5450.


Futures are trading at 5554 at the time of this writing.

 



 

VPOC Update: No new VPOC's were added or taken out Friday, and just like we mentioned, the closest one above is at 5690, and the closest one below is at 5315, and most likely neither are in play today. We have 7 above and 15 below.
