The market opened lower on Monday, and the ES immediately
popped up to 976.25 and fizzled before another drop. The ES
fell 3.50 points to 972.75 (the 972.50-972.00 initial
support). Able to hold the initial support, the ES ran up to
the 979.50-980.25 resistance zone. That zone was easily
rejected, and after a little double top was put in place
from 979.75 high, it started a 10.75 point trend-down move
to a 969.00 low (969.00-968.75 was the second support zone
listed) before turning back up. The bounce took the ES 6.75
points higher to 975.75, right at the 975.50-976.00 updated
resistance zone, and it made a little double top before
selling off 5 points to 971.75. The market then chopped
sideways for a bit, and then finally broke lower.That drop
reversed from 970.75 and the upside got in gear. The ES
rallied to make a little double top at 978.25, but the
pullback held 976.25 and then popped up to a lower high then
reversed. The dip held at 974.25 and then in the last 30
minutes the market rallied to new highs, with the ES
reaching 980.00 at the close.

The market is now very overbought, and the reversal by the
Vix on Monday gave 2 out of 5 possible sell signals in my
work. However, the market continues to be very resilient,
and the pattern of early weakness and late strength is a
plus for the market. For now, the market is "ok" unless the
initial support areas are not held on the first decent
pullback. If the initial support areas are all broken, then
a short term top could be in place. Unless/until that
occurs, the dips should set up buying opportunities.

On Tuesday we get the Consumer Confidence number 30 minutes
into the trading day. If the ES pops over the 980 level and
reverses back down through it, then it can trigger a
shorting opportunity with a pretty tight stop. If that
doesn't happen, and the ES stays over 980, then it could
goose shorts and cause a move to get momentum and rally to
the 984.00-984.50 area, or higher. If the market is unable
to stay over the initial support zones, then it will dent
the upside momentum. should that occur, and the ES slides to
the 969.00 low from Monday, a quick reversal would be needed
to avoid rolling over.
