Pre-Market Brief

Good morning.  Futures are somewhat lower, sp-8pts, we're set to open around 1646. Bears need a break <1640, and then quickly <1635. However, with huge QE of 5-6bn today, bears face massive resistance. USD is moderately higher.

Summary

All things considered, I don't think the bears can break back into the 1630s.

There is important econ-data this morning - the PMI number at 9.45am will be a market mover, look for the market to especially move at 9.40am - when a number of people receive the data prior to main market.

So..my best guess for today - market sells off to around 10.30/11am, but holds sp'1642/40, as best seen on the 15min cycle chart.

*look for an opening black/fail candle on the VIX.

However, I will note the MACD cycle on the VIX offers a broad VIX rise across the ENTIRE day. Arguably, that is the most bearish possibility right now.

*I am heavy short the indexes, and will seek an exit at the open.

I do not intend to go long today, but will consider trading long (probably via Oil) next Monday instead.
