Notes:
Any saturation plays should be looked at as counter trend pull backs in this environment. Market looks exhausted at this point, buying now is buying late.
XLB-XLF-XLI Strongest
XLV-XLU-XLK Weakest...(Defensive sectors down after the environment changed to risk on)
EUR/USD Inside yesterdays massive range after the the summit where the EU agreed on how to save themselves.

Notes:
No obvious shorts and longs today, most of my plays are either IDB's or breakots. I will let the market tell me where it wants to go today as it has been choppy here recently and given today is a Friday, I will trade with caution.
The level to watch in the SPY is the 122.00 to the upside and 119.00 to the downside.
XLK-XLY-XOP Strong
XLF-XLB Weak
EUR/USD 3 day high at 1.3830, if taken out next resistance at 1.3950.
Premarket markets are poised for a higher opening.

Notes:
XLK, XRT, XOP, XLE, OIH - Strongest sectors
XLF - Weakest
XLP, XLV, GLD - Weakens as risk appetite grows
TLT on the verge of a breakdown below 116.00 signaling that bonds are about to sell off, while the DX dollar index is also about to re-enter its previous range in support of more risk apetite.
SPY about to break its upper trendline from the 31st of August after touching it 9 times.
Given the facts above, the market seems to be at an inflection point.

Shorts: KLAC (42.00), JCP (29.00)
Notes:
Strong sectors still leading during up days and defensive sectors lead during down days with the financials still weak.
The levels I will be watching in the SPY are 115.00 and 117.00 as support and resistance. Should the market penetrate and of those two levels then I expect to see continuation.

Notes:
NFP
Should the SPY open higher, I will be looking for at my saturations and breakout trades. Should the SPY open lower, I will be looking at yesterdays high and potential breakout trades, if it heads lower after opening lower I will be looking at break down trades and shorts.

Notes:
Saturation shorts are my play for the day, we are in a bear market and we have a two day rise in equities with the second day being below average. My second play are breakouts in those stocks that are approaching key levels where if taken out could see clean price action.

Shorts: CIEN, C, AET
Notes:
Market could be getting oversold at this stage, however, it is important to note that we are in a bearish market and any longs taken should be taken with extreme caution. Longs should only be considered on sectors that are demonstrating relative strength and on stocks that form a bottoming out pattern.
Strongest sectors: XLU - XLK - XLV
Weakest sectors: XLB- XLF - XLI
I expect to see noise at the open again today, as bears and bulls fight it out. Clean moves have tended to occur after the hour and a half of trading.
Premarket everything is down, except for the EUR which is slightly holding above yesterdays low at 1.3150. AUD being hit hard, and gold holding up the 1650 level.
HKHS down 4.38%
