S&P 500 Futures Trading Outlook For June 20, 2018

The rally from yesterday’s lows continues today, as buyers look to test higher levels of concern.

The whipsaw action is sure to continue as global news has been noisy lately.

The bounce must be monitored closely though. If we do not continue to recover higher levels, then deeper dips are possible. Stay prepared and watch your levels.

NASDAQ Futures

As suggested yesterday, support regions did test and hold in this very bullish market environment. However, lower resistance and lower support lines exist and this suggests that there is a lot of intraday market swing in a swath of crosscurrents.  We’ll need to hold the week near 7224 as support to keep alive the overall upside pressure.  Heavy congestion sits in a wide path between 7160 and 7260. The bullets below represent the likely shift of trading momentum at the successful or failed retests at the levels noted.

  • Buying pressure intraday will likely strengthen with a bullish retest of 7278.75
  • Selling pressure intraday will likely strengthen with a bearish retest of 7261.5
  • Resistance sits near 7289.5 to 7301.25 with 7307.5 and 7316.5 above that.
  • Support sits between 7252.5 and 7244.5, with 7236.5 and 7217 .75 below that.
