S&P 500 Futures: Monday, Repeat Of Friday

Chart courtesy of Scott Redler @RedDogT3 – $spx futures -12 as the Oscillator went from +40 to Neutral.. Holding the 2952 area is important. Powell is tomorrow.

After making a high at 2994.75 during Sunday nights Globex session, the S&P 500 futures broke down to 2978.75 just before 1:00 am CST, and opened Monday’s regular trading hours (RTH) at 2981.50.

Volume was low, the action was weak, and the range was tight for most of the day. It was a good day to play both sides if you’re a scalper.

The daily trend was definitely to the down side, but the final MOC reveal was a strong $654 million to buy. The futures went on to close out the day at 2978.25, which was right in the middle of the RTH opening range, and just 2 ticks lower than the Globex low.
