The market dipped in the last hour or so yesterday, though $SPY managed to close above 395.

We've seen a big bounce this morning, and we're back at the top of the range at 399.

The indices consolidated most of the day.

And that's healthy.

Last week was pretty powerful. The indices moved like they were being chased by a bull.

We did hit $SPX 4,000. A slight pause with support at 3,973 would be healthy. Should this level hold, then we can see 4,037.

Well over a month ago, J.C. and I talked in the live trading room about a "W" pattern forming in $SPY.

This pattern is still intact. The measured move I have on SPY, should this pattern hold, is roughly at the 407 to 410 level.

I only made one trade today, but I called out multiple setups in the room.

What a week.

We went from almost heading to the lows to the market trading up to its highest level since September.

What a day.

The S&P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite were both up more than 5%. The market liked the October CPI data and also what Fed speakers had to say.

CPI data for September was released on October 13 -- the turning point for the market. We trended higher the rest of the month after that news.

Will today's release of CPI data for October (8:30 a.m. ET) be a turning point where we trend lower? Do we bounce, even temporarily? It's anybody's guess.

It was a rough one for the market today.

Tomorrow's release of CPI data for October (8:30 a.m. ET) is dragging on things.

The futures were not that volatile overnight.

Election night is over, but I we are still waiting for some results.

From the Desk of Kimmy Sokoloff

I mentioned yesterday that we'd see volatility over the next few days, and the market delivered just that today.

After 1:00 p.m. ET the market took a nosedive. Then it started to level off and even rallied into the close.

Election Day is here, and the market has had a nice rebound off of last week's lows.

We have support on the $SPX at 3,800, and resistance is now at 3,824, then 3,843. $SPY support is at 378.20, then 376.55. Resistance is at 383.29.

The market started off strong and finished even stronger.

We saw a  midday lull, but that was bought up!  The $SPY broke above its 50-day moving average at roughly 379.
