S&P 500 Trading Update: Assessing The Rally

S&P 500 futures recorded a minor positive today by regaining 2636. This is causing a bit of an intraday Squeeze higher.

Bonds turned lower with yields rising along with stocks, albeit the yield rise has cooled off as of mid-day.

Yields currently sit around 2.95. S&P 500 futures are pushing past 2550… but a bigger level looms overhead.

Market breadth is about 2/1 positive this morning. Gains on the broad technology indices are a real positive for today, up more than 1%, and Financials are attempting to rebound as well.

The rally likely faces resistance near 2660 and trends are still negative overall. However, this is a minor positive for bulls and postpones any futher decline until prices reverse this move.

A move OVER 2660, while not immediaetly expected.. would be a bigger positive.  Shorts  have to be at least partially covered as this could extend a bit more into Monday.

A move UNDER 2630 would put the decline back on the front burner.
