Tuesday, January 3, 2017 Morning S&P Comments from Michael BlytheSocialTwist Tell-a-Friend






Good morning everyone and Happy New Year! Overnight the trends continue, equity futures, crude and dollar higher, meanwhile bonds and gold lower. Volume has been low around 150K, the calendar is busy this week. Shouldn’t take too long to know how for real this rally is. At the moment, my only bias in the S&P’s is to be patient.

Impressive rally in crude oil overnight. I can’t find anywhere to sell with forthought, and I have no conviction to step in front of this trend, therefore looking to buy a dip. I like buying the levels below today, risking .20 to make $1.00

No surprise that the Treasury market resumes it’s down course as the dollar and equities rally, and gold trades in the red. The week offers a decent calendar, and the modest rally in bonds over the last few sessions maybe enough to give it fuel to new lows.
 
My bias is clear to sell rallies at this point. I like selling 149’24, risking 8 ticks to make 32 ticks, or selling 150’10 risking 8 ticks to make 32. If I cannot grab a rally to sell, I will attempt to sell through the 149’02 level, depending on how the chart sets up. I think its reasonable to target a full handle on any short at this point. Bears should have enough for that, and if not, my bias maybe wrong.

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.

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.

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.

Good morning. Bulls did what they needed, rebuilt a floor at 2250 and is using that to push higher. It’s an expiration Friday with bulls in charge, not out of the cards for a grind up to new highs or at least pushing close to 2270. Going to return to quiet and thin.

Volume finally moving into the Feb contract with the overnight volume slightly higher than the Jan. So all levels are CLG7 now.

Return to orderly Treasury future trade yesterday. The 30 year trying to build at least a temporary floor. Over the last few weeks it has been normal to see about three sessions sideways to higher leading to a 2-3 handle bounce and then sellers reinitiate. I think the path of less resistance today, is weakness during the morning at least.

I like being short right now 148’24 as volume comes in at the open with a 8 tick stop looking for the first lower target. I like buying 148’12 small, with the potential of adding at 148’02, risking 10 ticks on the average, while looking for a bounce back to 149’00, or 24-25 ticks.

I like selling 149’16 and adding at 149’24, using a 12 tick stop on the average while looking for 32 ticks.

Hello. Volume is still in the Jan CL future so I am continuing to use that. Crude seems to be lingering lower to fill the gap from Friday’s close. This market is technically bullish, as well as fundamentally and seasonally bullish (short term, with some variations). Crude could be vulnerable to some excitement today with EIA # and FOMC.

Only place I am looking to buy is $51.50, risking .25 to make $1.00. I like selling $53.10, risking .20 to make .50

Hello and welcome to FOMC day. I expect a quiet morning trade before the volatile afternoon. It’s difficult (for me) to anticipate the market reaction to this Fed day. I have internal reasons to suspect either a quieter than usual reaction or stronger than usual reaction. My levels today are a little more macro, in the event of a more substantial reaction.

Before noon, I like buying 149’08 risking 8 ticks to make 16 or buying 148’18 risking 8 to make 24. Or selling 150’02 risking 8 to make 16.

*The above ideas are only good pre Fed and assume flat into the meeting *

I believe the stronger levels to be relevant today, but obviously cannot anticipate what I would do having yet to see the reaction to FOMC.

Seems like crude gave bulls a gift yesterday giving them an opportunity to buy in regular session. Now bulls need to make higher lows and higher highs. I like fading the resistance zone, starting small at $53.70 adding small at $53.80 and $53.90. Risking .25 on ave to make .75 on ave. I like buying $52.60 small, risking .20 to make .50.

Hello. Light calendar today. Quiet, buy the dip action in the 30 year overnight. Looking at yesterday’s rally and some overnight follow through, I think bonds could continue to see higher into the FOMC decision.

I am willing to buy lower with smaller size. 148’23 and adding at 148’16. Risking 12 ticks on the ave to scale at 16 and 24 tick profits. I like selling the 149’22 price small, adding small at 149’28 and 150’02 (if necessary) risking 10 ticks on the ave to make 24 ticks.


150’02 (***) Target 3 + Good Resist
