I like selling $53.20 risking .20 to make .50, or selling $53.60, risking .20 to make .75 or buying $52.07 smaller, risking .15 to make .35.

I don’t have an early pivot to set bias today. I like selling $53.00 on a bounce and adding at $53.20, using a .25 stop to earn $1.00. I think buying $52.13 with a .20 stop to make .50 is a fair trade.

$53.40 (***) Third Higher Target + Better Resist

$53.20 (**) Second Higher Target + Good Resist

$53.00 (*) First Higher Target + Some Resist

$52.13 (*) First Lower Target

$51.85 (*) Lower Target 2

$51.57 (**) Third Lower Target + Better Support

$51.11 (***) Pivotal

Good morning. Very quiet overnight in terms of range and volume. Today’s calendar is light as Chair Yellen address is not expected to be of market interest. The seasonality and being a Monday suggests that buying early weakness and holding into some upper target areas as a swing trade this week could work.


2273 (***) Pivotal

2268 (**) Third Higher Target + Better Resist

2264 (*) Second Higher Target + Fair Resist

2261 (*) First Higher Target + Small Resist

2256 (*) Early Pivot

2250 (**) First Lower Target + Support

2247 (**) Second Lower Target + Support

2243 (***) Third Lower Target + Bulls Must Hold

Hello. Once again, bonds trying to hold up in a quiet overnight session. This week has a mixture of quiet but also some noticeable economic reports. Bonds have to rally back up to 150’00 at least some point.

I like selling the 148’15 price today, risking 8 ticks to make 16 minimum, if there is momentum lower then I’d attempt for 24 ticks. Or I can buy 147’18, risking 8 ticks to make 24.

149’09 (***) TGT 4 + Resist

`148’28 (*) TGT 3 + Some Resist

148’15 (**) TGT 2 + Fair Resist

148’06 (*) First Higher Target + Small Resist

147’28 (*) Early Pivot

147’21 (*) First Lower Target + Some Support

147’14 (**) Target Two + Better Support

147’04 (***) TGT 3 + Support
