| 11:12 EDT | | SPY, SPX | S&P 500 reverses lower from new life high and spike high, levels to watch
The index hit a new life high today, touching above 1685 to 1687.16. That level now becomes key resistance. It puts the index tantalizing close to the 1700 level which many sell side analysts had set as a year-end target. At the current level of 1675.26, the index is teetering on support. A move lower could see a test down to the low of the session at 1669.39. A further break would put 1665 in play. There is a risk that today was a blow-off top in response to Bernanke's testimony before Congress. With "fear" gauges near lows, that may not seem important but it could become a theme in coming weeks if the index fails to make new highs nearly each day. The index is extraordinarily over-bought, which may not be the negative most analysts assume unless it ceases to become so. The gap between the 50-day moving average and current price is large, by any historical measure. The 50-day was last at 1586.46. A test down to that average, which shouldn't be unexpected on big profit taking, would probably feel as if the wheels were coming off the wagon to the bulls. That however would just be a test to long-term support, which is quite normal in bull markets. |

| 10:06 EDT | | SPX, SPY | S&P 500 rises to fresh life high on dovish Bernanke testimony
Traders appear to be taking Bernanke's testimony before Congress as an assurance that there will be no substantial tapering of quantitative easing in the near future. The index has risen to a fresh life high, now at 1679.96. The 1680, then 1685 areas are likely next upside targets as we climb new territory by "5s" and "10s". Support is now at 1675. |

Support is at 1664.63, today's session low. Energy and the Financials are doing most of the upside heavy lifting today.

| 15:58 EDT | | SPY, SPX | S&P 500 heads to close on lows of the session, levels to watch
The index is heading down to support at the 1650 area, going out very close to the lows of the day. The only sector in the green today is Technology. Consumer Discretionary, Health Care, and the Financials are the sectors leading on the downside. A breakdown tomorrow below 1650 would be psychologically problematic for the bulls. Next support below 1650 would be at 1645.56. Resistance is at 1654.96. |
