NQ Line In the Sand
E-mini S&P (June) / E-mini NQ (June)
S&P, yesterday’s close: Settled at 5324.75, up 3.25
NQ, yesterday’s close: Settled at 18,940.50, 64.50
E-mini S&P and E-mini NQ futures are on their backfoot ahead of the opening bell. As I mentioned in my evening video last night, breadth is at the front of my mind as it has been deteriorating significantly. Without NVDA these two major indices would have already eroded much more. Look no further than the E-mini Dow, which has no true NVDA exposure, trading more than 3.5% from its local high last Tuesday.
Yields are another concern, as the U.S. 10-year is now above 4.5%, the highest since the Friday May 3rd Nonfarm Payroll report. Also, according to the CME Group’s FedWatch Tool, the odds of more than one rate cut this year have dropped to 35.9% from 49.5% one week ago.
Although we are cautious, and I popped on the CNBC Halftime Report to update viewers with a hedge position on Friday, the trend is undoubtedly still bullish. Therefore, we will continue to hold a slight Bullish Bias as detailed below. However, we are watching yesterday’s intraday low in the E-mini S&P of 5296.75 very closely, and continued action below here will likely encourage added selling. If this is the case, a break below last week’s low and, furthermore, major three-star support at 5260-5264 will Neutralize this Bias in the near-term. Additionally, last Thursday’s settlement in the E-mini NQ, the big reversal day post-NVDA earnings, was 18,696.25 and aligns with the previous record high on March 8th and March 21st as major three-star support. We view a violation and close below here, as well as rare major four-star support at 18,620-18,635, as a negative and clear break of the bullish trend.
