S&P 500 Index Analysis (8/30/2010)

Analysis:

True to previous day's analysis, the market built on Friday's gain to top 1,072 overnight before fading prior to the market open today. The conventional wisdom is that the market sold out on the news of a meager personal spending in July, but the sell-out seems to have been overdone, especially in light of the continuing wave of mergers which the market largely ignored today. Looking ahead tomorrow, barring the scenario of a dip of Consumer Confidence Index below 50, the Chicago PMI will likely surprise on the upside around 59, which will provide much needed confidence booster for the market to recoup all today's losses.

Strategy:

Hold long to reverse at 1,082
