Index Support and Resistance for Monday, 1/11/2016

 Below you will find the Index Support and Resistance for Monday, 1/11/2016 as calculated from the changes in Index points through Friday, 1/8/2016’s close.   At the present time, E-mini futures are pointing to another down market open.   The same issues appear to be the culprit.  China’s faltering stock markets, China’s currency manipulation … which will lead to copycat currency moves elsewhere … which will contribute to a stronger US Dollar … which will undermine US companies exports, then there is the issue of global crude supplies undermining crude prices, and the US Energy Sector.

   As it is OUR money, here is a couple of questions, that we ALL should be asking,  for the US Securities and Exchange Commission (US SEC), the US Energy Information Administration (US EIA), the US Department of Energy (US DOE), and maybe the US Department of Justice (US DOJ)

  Is Saudi Arabia, thru its ownership of Aramco, and Aramco’s ownership of refineries across the globe, using that refinery ownership to

•  (a) import Saudi crude … filling US storage?,
•  (b) selling US futures against crude in storage?
•  (c) while striving to put US Exploration and Production companies out of business … so that at some point in the future OPEC can raise prices ??

•  Hmm!  That sounds like market manipulation to me.   How about you?

 III.  Index Support and Resistance for Monday, 1/11/2016

 Below you will find the 52 week performance, and the Year-to-Date (YTD) performance to the selected indexes.  I added the 200 day simple moving average (SMA) calculations to those of the CBOE Interest Rate 10 Year T Note (INDEX CBOE: TNX).  For tracking the day’s action, here are the Pivot Points, Support points, Resistance points,  and the 50 day simple moving averages (sma),  for the DJIA, the NasdaqComp, the S&P 500, the Russell’s 1000, 2000, 3000, the CBOE Interest Rate 10 Year T Note (INDEX CBOE: TNX), as well as the Volatility Index (VIX) for the S&P500.

•  If the related index, or stock, is above the pivot point, the pivot point is both support, and an indication that Mr. & Ms. Fickle Markets are Bullish. 
•  If the related Index, or stock, is below the pivot point, then the pivot point represents resistance, as well as an indication that Mr. & Ms. Fickle Markets are Bearish.
•  Please Note: ALL projections are for reference only as they can be easily exceeded, up or down, by Mr. & Ms. Fickle Markets.
