Index Support and Resistance for Monday (9/26/2016)

 

  The markets Friday, and Monday, will be about crude, and the Presidential debates coming up before the November election.  The President, as the Chief Executive and Commander in Chief, does have some power to make autonomous decisions; however, when it comes to laws, rules, and regulations, it will be up to the US Congress to start WORKING for the people they are being PAID to serve  … or RESIGN!
  As to crude, most people aren’t following that Saudi Arabia is paying to ship and store crude that hasn’t been purchased yet … to Japan and to storage in China HOPING to supply crude to China’s vision of a 100 day Strategic Petroleum Reserve. Compare that to the USA’s 35 day SPR.  China has 1.4 Billion people … the USA 340 million people.   How many barrels of crude will comprise a 100 day China SPR?
On a day like this it helps to know the Pivot Points, Supports, Resistances … and more
