Resistance Overhead, Tech has the Baton

E-mini S&P (September) / E-mini NQ (September)

S&P, yesterday’s close: Settled 5630.00, up 51.75

NQ, yesterday’s close: Settled at 19,857.75, up 252.00

E-mini S&P and E-mini NQ futures surged in the final minutes on Monday. The move came on the heels of a decisive break above rare major four-star resistance in the E-mini S&P earlier in the session. Moving through the July 23rd gap at 5600.75 ultimately confirms this unprecedented directional momentum and hands the baton to the E-mini NQ which looks to achieve the same feat at 19,925. Strength overnight pinged that level but given the fallout after the July 23rd settlement was led by tech (GOOG and TSLA earnings), this is arguably an even bigger showdown. If you have capitalized on this move, we believe it to be prudent and smart to make sure to monetize it. There will be a lot of Fed speak this week, at Jackson Hole, leading into Fed Chair Powell's keynote Friday morning.

Performance Disclaimer

Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown. In fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program.

One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk in actual trading. For example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all of which can adversely affect actual trading results.
