Summary
So, we're going to break the rising trend, along with the 61% fib of 1863 at the open.
Equity bears should push hard to a key break under the 50 dma - which will be around 1840 at the open - also where the lower daily bol' is.

*As noted at the weekend, there really isn't any econ-data of note this week. Further, equity bulls don't have any sig' QE-fuel until Thursday.
For those trading the Dow...
Bears need 16350 for a break of trend, which will open the door to 16100/000.
...in the grand scheme of things though, all these moves are pretty small, aren't they?

Special note...
I am due to lose power this morning, and will likely be offline for an hour, so if I disappear..you know why!
As a result, I won't be hitting any buttons until the afternoon. Considering the Friday price action, I will consider a small short position...but really, I'd feel a hell of a lot more comfortable being short the market <1840.

9.15am.. power already off...and back...
I should be around..as normal for the day :)
9.17am.. sp -4pts, so..that is 1861...not quite a break of trend, and still.. a good 1.2% from breaking the 50 dma.
Bears can sustain a bounce, but arguably no higher than the recent cluster price level of 1875.
9.33am.. minor opening weakness, and bears just don't have the power to kick this significantly lower.
Despite no QE today, 1870/75 seems very viable...which will no doubt annoy all those seeking a major red start to the week.
9.41am Well...bulls not showing up yet. Should see a turn by 11am
VIX +8%...showing a little power...but..we're only in the 15s..this remains a bizarrely low level.
