S&P 500 Futures
Charts are fading in a test of lower support zones in our bullish formation after NEW HIGHS yesterday. The greatest opportunities still lie at the tests of deeper support – near yesterday’s low 2581 -for long entries. The failure to recapture 2586 is likely to telegraph a test of deeper support into 2576.5. The bullets below represent the likely shift of trading momentum at the positive or failed retests at the levels noted.
- Buying pressure intraday will likely strengthen above a positive retest of 2588.75
- Selling pressure intraday will likely strengthen with a failed retest of 2576.5
- Resistance sits near 2586.75 to 2591.5, with 2594.75 and 2600.5 above that.
- Support holds between 2581.5 and 2576.75, with 2574 and 2568.5 below that.

If you’re interested in the live trading room, it is now primarily stock market futures content, though we do track heavily traded stocks and their likely daily trajectories as well – we begin at 9am with a morning report and likely chart movements along with trade setups for the day.
As long as the trader keeps himself aware of support and resistance levels, risk can be very adequately managed to play in either direction as bottom picking remains a behavior pattern that is developing with value buyers and speculative traders.
