  • 08:30 - Core CPI (MoM) - Neutral Expectation


Economic Calendar


SPY - Keeps moving higher, but volume is starting to dry out. Very close to the recent high at 169.00 level. Some selling is expected at this level and a volatility increase would be a sign of sellers.
1-) Bearish (40%) - If start trading below 167.75 and holding, breaking the shorter time frame up trend, should test the next level at 166.50. This should provide support for this up move. Favor short trades, but close them when the support is reached. This would be healthy for a potential break up latter on.
2-) Bullish (40%) - We are very close to the high, so a test of this level is also likely scenario. Sellers should step in at this level and bring prices down, so don´t get too attached to long positions.
3-) Neutral (20%) - unlikely to happen and would start a narrow consolidation. Too narrow to hold on a potential break up of the high. This is a very low volatility scenario and don´t expect many opportunities.

Long Term Bias: Neutral Bullish
Short Term Bias: Bearish
