S&P 500 INDEX MODEL TRADING PLANS for TUE. 6/11/24

The recent Non-Farm Payrolls data indicated stronger-than-hoped-for job market, which stoked optimism about potential rate cuts. While the futures are pulling back this morning, it remains to be seen if this would be sustained once the regular session starts. Tomorrow’s FOMC decision may not hold any surprises, but the Powell press conference could set the tone for the next market leg.

Since flipping to a bullish bias on the break of 5116, our models continue to be bullish. Models would carry the bullish bias while the index is above 5245 on a daily close basis. It takes a daily close below 5200 for the models to turn bearish. Between 5245 and 5200, models would be in an indeterminate mode.

Aggressive, Intraday Trading Plans:

In view of tomorrow’s FOMC rate decision and the subsequent presser from Powell, our models indicate standing on the sidelines for today – no trading plans for the day.

By definition the intraday models do not hold any positions overnight – the models exit any open position at the close of the last bar (3:59pm bar or 4:00pm bar, depending on your platform’s bar timing convention).

To avoid getting whipsawed, use at least a 5-minute closing or a higher time frame (a 1-minute if you know what you are doing) – depending on your risk tolerance and trading style – to determine the signals.
