The market keeps trying to hold these levels.

It would be a lot less painful if we had a quick swoosh lower.

No love for October yet, but be patient!

If $SPY really pushes past this 425.50 area, there's potential to 419.

Futures were up overnight, and then poof, we're now back to flat.

Remember, the market couldn't get going on Friday...

The market gapped up this morning, and then the indices dropped into their respective gaps.

We'll know more next week about whether this rally will continue...

Out goes September and in comes October.

We've seen that October can be bumpy for the first few weeks and then level out as we approach Halloween.

We finally had a bounce...

Now, in order to continue higher, $SPY needs to stay above 432.

What I'll be looking for today is if $SPY can hold on to the 425.50 area.

We need to defend this area.

Otherwise, we can head quickly down to 420 and then the 200-day moving average at 418.60.

Today $SPY closed the gap I spoke about at 422.92, and we bounced.

We'll see if we continue higher tomorrow...

From the Desk of Kimmy Sokoloff

As of now, $SPY is holding the 425 area.

We could see a bounce, but I think it would be short-lived.

Again, not a ton of names stand out to me.

It was straight selling all day, no bounces.

$SPY has some support here at 425, then 422.92.

There's potential for a gap down tomorrow.

Yesterday we saw the market enjoy a decent bounce, but this morning it's like that move never happened.

 The indices are indicating at the lower range.

Once again, not too many names are exciting right now.

From the Desk of Kimmy Sokoloff

Overall, that was a decent bounce today.

We'll see if it continues through the week.

If we do get a heavy one, $SPY has potential to 438.
