    well this is going to be an interesting close ... that 2800 has been a pretty strong resist level since the correction started ... looks like we're losing that right now after we were trading well above it earlier in the day ... imo would be kind of an ugly looking close with a nasty looking topping tail on the daily chart if we're closing near the afternoon lod after such an extended run higher ... let's see if the bulls can bring it back with about 25min. left in the session o_O:p

    yea the VIX is up quite a bit, very interesting.

    just checked the chart, your right, its been pretty strong resistance since we took the dive, i wouldnt mind consolidating between it and the 200 day though, its been one hell of a run we have been on.

    Morning Lineup – Cautious Tone Ahead of Powell Testimony
    Feb 26, 2019

    What happened in December? Between the delayed December Retail Sales report released earlier this month and this morning’s report on Housing Starts, either the economy hit a cliff or whoever was responsible for tabulating the data while the Federal government was shutdown needs to brush up on their calculations. Today’s report on Housing Starts came in at SAAR of 1.078 million, which was 178K below the consensus forecast of 1.256 million. Looking through our Economic Indicator Database, there has not been that big of a miss in Housing Starts relative to expectations in 12 years! It wasn’t all bad news, though, Building Permits came in better than expected.

    Yesterday, we noted the fact that the Shanghai Composite was bumping right up against a very long term downtrend after its 5%+ gain to kick off the week. Overnight, the index rallied higher in the morning but gave it all back throughout the trading day and closed with a decline of just over half of a percent. So, we’re going to have to wait at least another day (and likely more) before that downtrend gets taken out.

    Another downtrend that’s provided pretty formidable resistance recently is the short-term downtrend in long-term US Treasury yields. At both the 10 and 30 year maturities, yields just can’t seem to increase the way so many have been calling for. In the case of the 10-year, yields bounced off the early January lows but quickly ran out of steam just shy of resistance at the 2.8% level, and since then have been trending lower right below the 50-DMA. For the 30-year it’s a similar story as the 50-DMA acts as a ceiling and the current yield of 3.02% is just 14 bps above the low print from early January.

    trend line broken but lots of support levels coming up at 2785, next ma(9), then the ma(20). Bears really need to break below 2700 to get any momentum going imo.

    I didn’t get a chance to see what did Powell say today just yet, treasury yields are down though so I guess he was dovish :p

    The SPX right at 2.8K at this moment, will be interesting to see if we will finally close above of that level :D

    denied again (at least for another day :p)

    seems like we're either going to need to consolidate here (correct through time) or pullback a little and then see if we can blast through it.

    might need some catalyst to get us past with conviction though ... and i'm just not really sure what's left that would get it moving decisively higher from here.

    Is something going on with futures. All of my charts across multiple trading platforms are stock at 2789.75 for multiple hours - unless we're really pegged at this price, but I haven't seen it budge at all.
