Did you listen to Bill Baruch’s option trades on AAPL and UBER last week? Catch them all here.
E-mini S&P (June) / E-mini NQ (June)
S&P, last week’s close: Settled at 5437.50, down 1.00 on Friday and up 81.75 on the week
NQ, last week’s close: Settled at 19,685.50, up 83.00 on Friday and 647.75 on the week
Please note, we are referencing the June futures and do not roll until Tuesday of each quarterly expiration week.
The E-mini S&P and E-mini NQ finished at new weekly records on Friday and closed higher for the sixth and seventh week out of the last eight, respectively. We have certainly not been ones to shy away from calling this a stock pickers market, finding many names outside the lauded “Mag 7” to hang our hats on, however, we find the latest breadth deterioration concerning. With economic data, earnings, and the June Fed meeting in the rear-view mirror, this will be a critical week. Will the Industrial sector continue to roll over, will the Consumer Discretionary sector build out a head and shoulders top. Look at the E-mini Dow, it is still 3.5% from its March record high and the E-mini Russell finished Friday at the lowest level since May 1st. The sectors absolutely matter, but the top six names (MSFT, AAPL, NVDA, GOOG, AMZN, META) now account for 30% of the S&P, and right here we are talking about index futures. Price action has built out nice support in the E-mini S&P at and around 5400, detailed below. If we see continued construction out above this area and, furthermore, strength in the E-mini NQ out above 19,685-19,691, then there is no reason to think the party is over, and our Bias will remain more Bullish.
- Bias: Bullish/Neutral
- Resistance: 5444-5447, 5452.50-5454.50, 5459.75, 5475.75
- Pivot: 5430.50-5438.50
- Support: 5424.25-5426.25, 5413-5417, 5408.50, 5395.75-5397, 5384-5387.50, 5370.50-5375.75, 5355.75-5359.25**
NQ (June)
- Resistance: 19,882, 20,000**
- Pivot: 19,685-19,691
- Support: 19,629-19,649, 19,557-19,563, 19,496-19,507, 19,433, 19,349-19,374, 19,242-19,279 19,187-19,208, 19,136-19,155
Crude Oil (August)
Last week’s close: Settled 78.26, up 0.11
August WTI Crude Oil futures are front month and price action has consolidated terrifically out above the 21-day moving average since last Monday’s strong session. However, as this week unfolds, there are two stories overhead. First, price action has not traded above the 54-day moving average since breaking below it on May 1st, and this comes in at 79.34. Second, there is unfinished gap settlement resistance from the April 30th monthly settle aligning to create rare major four-star resistance with a .618 retracement. While the 54-dma is resistance, one may view the gap settlement as unfinished business and a bullseye that must be tested.
- Bias: Neutral/Bullish
- Resistance: 78.85-78.94, 80.37-80.61*
- Pivot: 78.11
- Support: 77.33-77.42, 75.46-75.75

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.
