Not an easy market to read right now in my opinion.
It is showing signs like it would like to visit some lower levels, yet there is enough buying interest to keep it above 1127.
This Friday monthly unemployment levels will be watched closely.
If the market breaks below 1127, it has a chance of picking some more speed to the downside.
On the flip side, bulls will need to see new highs in order to get back in control of price action.
Daily chart with some price levels to watch for your review below:

“Looks like 1122 should be a decision level based on the chart below.”
Well very similar comments today…… looks like 1122.75 should be decision level if we are to break upside, while 1105.75 to 1109.25 is the support to watch. Chart for your review below.

A quick look at mini Russell 2000 daily chart, as I view the mini Russell as being the leader in price action amongst different indices over past few months.
Daily chart below shows how we’ve been making lower highs and lower lows.
If the pattern continues, I see us visiting the 553-556 area over next few days. On the flip side we need to see a break above 650 in order to provide the bulls with more courage.

Quick note about good trading days/periods, bad trading days/periods..
I sometimes hear from clients, that they are not happy because after a period of making money and trading well they are now in a period of ‘scratching’ or losing a ‘little’. If this is the case you are doing well! Why (you may ask)? Because if your bad periods are small losses or scratch, you will be there for the good periods and the next leg up hopefully. However, if your bad trading days/periods include very large losses or drawdowns you may have to go back to the drawing board since the math will not make sense when it’s all said and done.
I have detailed more on the subject in an article I wrote a few years back, called ‘Survivor day-trader’. If you’d like a copy, please send me an email with name, email address, tel number. Please specify if you are a client of cannon or not. I will only email the article to those clients/prospects who provided me with correct information. Thanks for your cooperation!

Interesting action today! Not sure what to make of it, there is a case for the bulls and a case for the bears. I am thinking that as a swing trader, one can try to short the market with a stop slightly above the recent highs ( recent high was around 1100 ). Taking the approach that while chances of getting stopped out are higher than normal, the relative risk is smaller than the relative potential reward. On the other hand, bulls may get more confidence going long if market breaks above 1103 or so..
Daily chart for review below.

Daily chart below of mini SP 500 shows that we are trading against some potential resistance right around the 1081 level. I think the next few days will carry higher volatility than last two trading sessions and should provide more volatility and ranges for day-traders.
