Pre-Market Brief

Good morning. Futures are moderately higher, sp + 6pts, we're set to open at 1806 - a mere 3pts shy of the 50 day MA. Metals are stronger, Gold +$11, with Silver +0.6%. The market is now patiently awaiting the first big Yellen day.


sp'60min


Summary

So, the sp'1800 looks set to be broken through, and those looking for an inv. H/S can probably ditch that scenario at the open.

A daily close >1810 would be important, and open the door to new highs in March/April.

..awaiting the Yellen press release at 8.30am

8.42am ...the Yellen statement is out..and taper'3 is on the table...for March'19.

Market is holding 1800..just.

Certainly...interesting day ahead!

Notable mover: UGAZ +5.5%.. GDX +1.4%

9.00am  I realise many out there are getting bearish now, but hell, we only need to close +11pts - a mere 0.6%, to break the 50 day MA..and that wrecks any of the bigger near term bearish outlooks.

9.18am  indexes set to open...FLAT.   Hmmm

Even the metals are slipping...Gold +$4..after +10


9.34am... well, we've clearly broken the 1800 threshold, VIX is a touch red, but...not much.

A tricky morning ahead, but daily/weekly momentum is still turning back to the bulls.

TSLA, breaks to $202.20 in pre-market...who is crazy enough to still short ?
