As we mentioned yesterday, it’s been a whipsaw for futures traders. And the whipsaw continues today with the employment report.
Let’s take a look at charts of the S&P 500 futures and Nasdaq futures and highlight some key trading levels for today.
Here’s the charts
$ES_F Â – S&P 500 Futures
ES futures are bouncing back and forth like a ping pong ball in a wide range. On the upside, traders are facing strong resistance at 2915. On the downside there is deeper support that could see new lows before firming.
$NQ_F – Nasdaq Futures
Fades down near theSeptember lows are holding as support. Today is a day to watch support. I’m on alert for failed bounces at resistance that eventually test lower support.
