Morning Express: Trading the Post-Witching and Pre-Fed Rebound

Blue Line Futures - Mon Mar 18, 9:03AM CDT

E-mini S&P (June) / E-mini NQ (June)

S&P, last week’s close: Settled at 5182.75, down 35.25 on Friday and 9.75 on the week

NQ, last week’s close: Settled at 18,058.75, down 213.00 on Friday and 238.50 on the week

E-mini S&P and E-mini NQ futures are snapping back from pre-expiration selling Friday morning and an unenthusiastic weekly close. Yes, there is arguably some frothiness, the risk appetite may be getting a bit exhausted, and the Federal Reserve’s policy meeting looms overhead, but let’s not forget that the market is in a bull trend. Price action in the E-mini S&P above Thursday’s gap settlement at 5218 will be seen as bullish in the near-term and similarly a move above major three-star resistance in the E-mini NQ at 18,297-18,342 is likely to garner fresh buying. Additionally, given this overnight levitation, Friday’s settlement and lows will provide a line in the sand on the week.
