This comes off the market being down 5 of the last 6 days. It will soon be due for a bounce, but I&#8217;m sticking with my short term target (SPX mid 1040&#8217;s) and intermediate term target (SPX 1005ish).<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: medium;\">There&#8217;s not need for me to repost the monthly, weekly and daily charts I posted in yesterday&#8217;s report. So here&#8217;s the 60-min. It&#8217;s a couple points above 1060 gap support. If it loses that level (if futures hold, it&#8217;ll gap below that level), we could see a quick sell-off to 1050. But we&#8217;re due for a bounce soon. I wouldn&#8217;t be surprised to see yesterday&#8217;s lows get taken out and part of the gap get filled before the imbalance of support and demand again favored the bulls. <\/span><br \/>\n<img src=\"http:\/\/leavittbrothers.com\/before-the-open\/images\/spx102809.png\" alt=\"\" \/><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: medium;\">I have little interest in going long or being long&#8230;except for those reverse ETFs. \ud83d\ude42<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: medium;\">headlines at <a href=\"http:\/\/biz.yahoo.com\/apf\/archive.html\">Yahoo Finance<\/a><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: medium;\">today&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/briefing.com\/Investor\/Public\/Calendars\/UpgradesDowngrades.htm\">upgrades\/downgrades<\/a><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: medium;\">this week&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/leavittbrothers.com\/blog\/?p=2116\">Earnings Reports<\/a><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: medium;\">this week&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/leavittbrothers.com\/blog\/?p=2120\">Economic Numbers<\/a><\/span><br \/>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">\/\/ <![CDATA[\nvar gaJsHost = ((\"https:\" == document.location.protocol) ? \"https:\/\/ssl.\" : \"http:\/\/www.\");\ndocument.write(unescape(\"%3Cscript src='\" + gaJsHost + \"google-analytics.com\/ga.js' type='text\/javascript'%3E%3C\/script%3E\"));\n\/\/ ]]><\/script><br \/>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">\/\/ <![CDATA[\nvar pageTracker = _gat._getTracker(\"UA-6273151-1\");\npageTracker._initData();\npageTracker._trackPageview();\n\/\/ ]]><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Good morning.
