Friday Prep
Review
The market opened a tick above the prior day's high and the attempt to push through and hold above initial resistance failed. The market internals were weak from the off which gave a heads up to be cautious of longs with a failed breakout and look for a potential reversal. The 52.25-54.25 zone held (breakout area from Jan 12th & range VAL) and there was a move back to vwap into the close.
Plan
Overnight has ranged between 2260.75-68.00 versus settlement at 2261.50. Notes and bonds have been weak again with the 10 and 30 yr yields hitting 2.51% and 3.08% respectively. With the inauguration today we are very likely to see a break from balance and a wide ranging day. The zones are still the same and the weak highs are vulnerable, which includes the all time high. A sustained breakout either way is going to need heavy volume and momentum along with underlying market breadth, or it could fail and move back into balance.
