Neutral. No position.
Worked a small long yesterday for some pocket money.
My summation signal is neutral. Trade a few points above this morning's NFP spike high would turn it up for the SPX.
My composite trend signal is up with the three critical trend indicators down. Pretty house, weak foundation.
I have to be in meetings most of the day today.
Thus, per my Big Days Happen When You Are Unavailable Principle, it could be a great trading day.
NFP days sometimes work both directions pretty good.
I don't know what will happen as usual.
The SPY traded big volume as high as 189.30 on the payroll announcement.
There were a few last old P-Bars a little over 189.
While it wasn't in the open session, they could be considered tagged given the volume.
However, a tag in session would be official me thinks.
As with yesterday, the choices seem to be pop the neckline above and run stops or fall back into the heart of the heinous trading range. (Perhaps both.)
Given how close we are, if the bulls fail to clear this neckline it would seem to me like a sea change in the tone of the market.
Bears have gotten use to their regular spankings and may feel temporarily disoriented.
We shall see.
