Bill Baruch kicks off the week back at the NYSE to join the CNBC Halftime Report for the hour starting at 11:00 am CT. What a big week ahead, mega-cap tech earnings, Fed policy meeting, and jobs data.

E-mini S&P (March) / E-mini NQ (March)
S&P, last week’s close: Settled at 4916.25, down 7.00 on Friday and up 46.75 on the week
NQ, last week’s close: Settled at 17,527.00, down 107.50 on Friday and up 88.50 on the week
Are the E-mini S&P and E-mini NQ developing bull-flag patterns? A constructive response to the first two tiers of support will encourage such a pattern to unfold, though price action will be increasingly fundamental as the week unfolds and is highlighted by mega-cap earnings, the Federal Reserve policy decision, and Nonfarm Payrolls.

Crude Oil (March)
Last week’s close: Settled at 78.01, up 0.65 on Friday and 4.76 on the week
Bias: Neutral/Bullish
The Sunday opening spike in Crude Oil futures has not been retested and achieved a critical area of resistance. It would be prudent to monetize the three-session range breakout that tested the highest level since the November 30th spike.
Resistance: 79.57-79.65***
Pivot: 78.01-78.21
Support: 77.41-77.64***, 76.31-76.70**, 75.83-76.06**, 75.08-75.29***
Gold (April) / Silver (March)
Gold, last week’s close: Settled 2036.1, down 0.7 on Friday and 12.5 on the week
Silver, last week’s close: Settled at 22.872, down 0.055 on Friday and up 0.161 on the week
Gold and Silver futures face a pivotal week ahead with the Federal Reserve policy decision on Wednesday, surrounded by a deluge of data ranging from Chinese Manufacturing (Tuesday night) to Nonfarm Payroll (Friday). The Sunday night opening spike will provide a line in the sand that price action must chew through. A failure to hold the pivot and point of balance will work to erode what is developing as a potential positive market shift.
Bias: Neutral/Bullish

Support: 2036.1-2037.7***, 2031.8**, 2023.3-2026***
