E-mini S&P (March) / E-mini NQ (March)
S&P, yesterday’s close: Settled at 6966.25, down 35.50
NQ, yesterday’s close: Settled at 25,631.00, down 275.00
Yesterday was very bifurcated. We got a fresh record high in the E-mini Russell 2000, and sectors like energy, industrials, and healthcare did well, while tech struggled mightily. However, TSMC reported earnings overnight and is up 5%, helping to reinvigorate the beleaguered sector.
The E-mini S&P is +0.5% and the E-mini NQ +1% ahead of the U.S. opening bell. Yesterday’s close will bring major three-star support in the E-mini S&P at 6966.25 and 25,631 in the E-mini NQ. However, given the strength overnight, we do have significant supports between current price action testing 7000 in the E-mini S&P and yesterday’s settlement. We believe the true test through the first half of the day will be major three-star support at 7014.50-7017.50 in the E-mini S&P; a close above there today and on the week will be very bullish.
