Through the prior close...
Thursday's pre-open bounce from
2072.00 had attacked
2088.00, but the
2082.00 open was already resuming the overnight slide from
2095.00. It extended down to
2065.00 through the bias timing window, and then to
2056.00 through the noon hour. Oh, and down to
2040.00 through the afternoon bias environment. The final hour didn't extend down, so the decline did not gain traction.
Overnight action's new info...
Firming above
2047.50 into Thursday's close soon tested
2057.50. Eerily relentless narrow ranging finally broke higher into Europe's opens. Yesterday's bias environment high was attacked to within 3 ticks at
2062.75. Sideways ranging quickly resumed, albeit more choppily
If, then...
More overnight excessive optimism ahead of this morning's Employment Situation report? Wednesday afternoon's bias environment high was touched overnight before plunging into yesterday's open. Last night's bounce to Thursday afternoon's bias environment high seems to set the same stage. Knee-jerk reactions are likely after the news. But the open must establish some relevant recovery to avoid melting down again into the weekend.
First Trade...
Preliminary indications aren't considered ahead of Employment Situation reports.
Stock Market Opening Trends - 10:25 AM
Edit
Pre-open dive is retraced by the open, reversed through it.
Payrolls had triggered an 8-point surge to retest the 2062.75 overnight highs. Its reaction down was exacerbated by OPEC news that sent Crude Oil down. But a pre-open test of 2047.75 sent price back up to greet the open at this morning's 2053.50 bias-up signal.
Triggering the 2056.50 buy signal extended higher to and through the overnight highs up to 2069.75. Its reaction down to 2063.00 has been ranging around the 2065.00-2066.00 renewed bias-up target. This is a bias-up environment, whose renewed target has been met -- narrowly missing a doubly-renewed bias-up.
Overbought RSIs at the 2069.75 high require its eventual retest, which should include 2070.50. Avoiding its retest would further suggest that any other pullback will recover. Meanwhile, its retest isn't precluded from extending higher than 2070.50.
Day Trading Mid-Day Thoughts - 11:54 AM
Edit
opening rally extends. And extends.

Still overlapping the
2065.00-2066.00 renewed bias-up target at 10:15 prevented triggering a doubly-renewed bias-up signal. But it's still a bias-up environment. And it was extended up to
2078.00.
The morning's bias tends to persist through the noon hour on Fridays. But a relatively shallow pullback can still develop. Its objective would be
2067.50, which could become deeper, but probably not reverse the trend back down down.
Even if a pullback is only shallow, resuming the rally today is not assured. Marginalizing sellers doesn't necessarily create a vacuum that sucks in buyers. And RSIs aren't overbought at the current high, so it doesn't require a retest.
But if the rally were to resume today, then its objective would be to test
2082.00. Otherwise, just a normal deeper pullback would likely hold the
2058.00-2059.00 area.

FAQ
INTRO VIDEOS #1 and #2
1. At 1:20, trading above the bias-up signal or under the bias-down signal would put into play a test of its bias-up or bias-down target.
2. Not triggering either bias signal at 1:20 would be "no-bias," and the bias signals should define the bias environment's range.
-- A test of the opposite bias signal would be targeted if one bias signal was tested before triggering no-bias.
3. Touching the bias signal within 3 minutes either way of 1:20 would invoke a grace period through 1:30 to trigger a late signal.
-- "Late" signals don't require testing the opposite bias signal, but it's still likely.
4. Still testing the bias signal at 1:30 after invoking the grace period would trigger "noN-bias," with no bias influence.
Closing Thoughts - 4:53 PM
Edit
Did Friday's rally finish correcting the week's earlier plunge, so that the decline could resume? Or, were relevant levels recovered that invalidate the decline, and allow the rally to resume? A little of both, actually. Which is why this weekend's Saturday Review will be focused on what immediate price action Monday can differentiate between the two paths, the bigger picture, and to review any chart requests you may have. I'll send the meeting's link that morning.
