Technical Edge 

  • NYSE Breadth: 81% Upside Volume (!)

  • Advance/Decline: 78% Advance 

  • VIX: ~$16.75

A nice upside breadth push yesterday as most S&P instruments cleared last week’s high. We will need the SPY and SPX to hold that weekly-up rotation today and will need the /ES to go weekly-up in the process (it is during Globex). 

Yesterday’s push allowed us to trim all of our open positions, so that is a pleasant development and a nice reward for stock-picking in a choppy, range-bound tape.

As always, let’s look at the indices then update our individual positions.

S&P 500 — ES

4175-ish is still a bit of a hurdle, but if the ES can clear it, ~4200 is the next significant area. 

  • Pivot: !4175

  • Upside Levels: 4198-4206, 4220, 4242

  • Downside levels: 4150, 4120, 4110-12

SPY

Into the top of key resistance, SPY needs to go daily up over $415.86 and hold above that level to open the door to our next upside levels.
