AS I SEE IT: The market traded higher near our regular market trading session but started selling off soon after the opening bell. It sold down to yesterdays low in the E-mini S&P contract before starting a rally that lasted into the close. It seemed that traders had a good idea the Intel earnings after the bell would be good and they were right. Right now the E-mini S&P is 6.25 points higher in after hour trading.
Tomorrow morning I want to see how the overnight markets have handled the Intel news. I’m also watching the Oil market move to all time highs in the 113.00 to 114.00 area. Tomorrow the Consumer Price Index and Housing Starts reports will come out at 8:30ET. Industrial Production comes out at 9:15ET with the Beige Book at 2:00ET so the market should be on the move. For me, resistance in the E-mini S&P is in the 1345.00 area and support is in the 1325.00 area.
I HOPE YOU MADE MONEY TODAY!
Have as much fun trading as I do!
