Tough Resistance Above 1700

The market continues to be extremely bullish, with every dip being swiftly bought up by the bulls. In my opinion, the market is now nearing another decision point, as the S&P 500 futures continue to hold below the major resistance zone of 1700 to 1705.

Another Dip, Another Buy

The market experienced a mild two-day dip, and that’s all that was needed for the bulls to take advantage of another buying opportunity. The S&P 500 and NASDAQ 100 futures are both pushing higher heading into the RTH open, and overnight volume was the healthiest of the week, so more upside could be seen ahead.

1695 is the Pivot in the S&P 500

The S&P 500 and NASDAQ 100 futures each got decent downside breaks from their respective coiled ranges Tuesday, but more downside could be seen early in today’s market if price continues to remain beneath the important 1695 pivot.

Tight Range in the S&P

The S&P 500 futures have formed an extremely tight range over the last several sessions, and the time is coming for a breakout. There are clear lines in the sand across for of the instruments below, and none more clear than the 1695 level in the ES, which is as clear a bull/bear line as I’ve seen in weeks.

1700 and August Gold Targets

The S&P 500 futures can finally check “Reach 1700” off its to-do list, as the ES finally reached this highly anticipated, psychological milestone, while Gold continues it wild and volatile run.
