Inside the Numbers

1:47: The market is in a holding pattern…

If she moves and creates an opportunity before the end of the day (with enough time left on the clock…), I will comment accordingly

Otherwise, if she doesn’t move…

We’ll see you in the video tonight…

1:36: As for the SPY…

directionless floater on light volume – still…

1:35: A word on the Transports…

We all see the crazy move the Avis had – doubled in a day…

Hard to believe, but it does seem to be the culprit for the move higher in the index.

However, if you look at IYT which is the exchange-traded fund that tracks the index, it’s a real representation of what the transports are doing…

Translation, the index has a flaw that will now be addressed.

You’ll hear about (or not hear about it) in the next day or so…

12:55: Update…

No man’s land, waiting on the Fed…

A floater with the trend on all time frames is the dominant thing…

Just sayin’

Back as needed…

10:50: Not much to comment on in terms of the SPY…

They’re in no man’s land around 461.50…

Just floating…

Back after lunchtime…

10:32: After an hour we’ve got about 10 million shares traded in the SPY which is on the lighter side of very light…

They’re floating in a chop shop formation…

Waiting on the Kabuki….

Back as needed…

10:17: 460.73 against the support at 460.75 and the bounce…

Funny how that works…

10:08: Of note…

The transports are up over 5%.

Looking at the individual components, they’re not up like that….

Interesting for now….

10:07: 461.43 high so far against 461.50.

Remember – 460.75 is the short-term pivot or line in the sand for higher or lower prices…

10:02: From a very short-term perspective, 460.75 is support.

Below that and the door opens for 460 give or take…

It’s quiet and they’re floating until they find a morning pivot…

460.50 is a pretty good spot….

9:50: It’s not easy in no man’s land, but from where I sit, they’ll likely get to 461.50 give or take…

9:42: Around and at new highs is no man’s land…

We just let the SPY go until she shows a storyline…

9:37: SPY just pushing a little, but it’s very light volume and no conviction…

They’ll go back and forth…

460.75 was the official completion of the inverse from the video…

Of note…

9:33: So far, nice trade on MOS…

SPY quiet…

9:00: The pre-market activity has been rather quiet…

“Waiting on Kabuki?”

We come with no preconceived notion. Instead, I have an open mind for whatever Mrs. Market wishes to provide…

We’ll let em’ go to get a handle on the early storyline…
