Bill Baruch will be on the CNBC Halftime Report at 11:00 am CT, for the hour, live from Miami Beach. Make sure to tune in!

E-mini S&P (March) / E-mini NQ (March)

S&P, yesterday’s close: Settled at 5680.25, up 40.25

NQ, yesterday’s close: Settled at 19,831.75, 119.75

It is true that we typically highlight the new contract’s levels on Tuesday of roll week.

Yesterday’s rally marks back-to-back gains for E-mini S&P and E-mini NQ futures, the first of such since the sell-off began. The rebound leads into tomorrow’s Federal Reserve policy decision, but first, Jensen Huang, the NVDA CEO, delivers a keynote speech at the company’s GTC event at noon CT.

Within the path we noted here yesterday morning, E-mini S&P and E-mini NQ futures held our Pivot and point of balance through the opening hour, in the E-mini S&P at 5623 and E-mini NQ at 19,620, and set the stage for yesterday’s rally. Our Pivot and point of balance today comes in at 5764 in the E-mini S&P and 19,703-19,770 in the E-mini NQ. Given the early softness, a constructive response to these areas will act the same as yesterday and continue to stoke a reversion to the mean ahead of the Fed’s policy meeting on Wednesday, targeting rare major four-star resistance in the E-mini S&P at…

Performance Disclaimer

Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown. In fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program.

One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk in actual trading. For example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all of which can adversely affect actual trading results.
