 The stock market pulled back on Friday following a disappointing September jobs report. Nonfarm payrolls of 194,000 were well shy of forecasts for a reading of 500,000. The unemployment rate fell to 4.8%, but this was due to the fact the labor force participation rate fell to 61.6%, versus 61.7% in August. The major indexes held up well despite the headline miss as they finished the week slightly higher. The small-caps were the exception as they were lower for the week and led Friday’s weakness. The Russell 2000 closed on its session low of 2,233 (-0.8%). Upper support at 2,225-2,200 and the 50-day moving average were challenged but levels held. A move below the latter and the 200-day moving average would signal additional weakness towards 2,175-2,150. The Nasdaq tested a midday low of 14,569 while ending at 14,579 (-0.5%). New and upper support at 14,550-14,400 was challenged but also held. A drop below the latter would indicate a retest towards 14,350-14,200. The S&P 500 settled at 4,391 (-0.2%) with the late day low tapping 4,386. Current and upper support at 4,375-4,350 easily held. A close below the latter would suggest another back-test to 4,325-4,300. The Dow kissed an intraday low of 34,661 before finishing at 34,746 (-0.03%). Fresh and upper support at 34,750-34,500 failed to hold. A move below the latter would suggest weakness towards 34,250-34,000.

The stock market showed continued strength on Thursday after Congress approved legislation to temporarily raise the federal government’s debt limit and avoid the risk of a historic default later this month. However, the can was only kicked down the road until early December as a decision on a longer-lasting remedy remains in play. The major indexes extended their winning streaks to three-straight sessions, for the most part, as volatility closed back below 20 and a key level of support. The gains come ahead of Friday’s all important jobs report and will be a true test for the bulls heading into next week’s start of the third-quarter earnings season. The Russell 2000 made a run to 2,265 while finishing at 2,250 (+1.6%) and back above its 50-day moving average. Lower resistance at 2,250-2,275 was reclaimed. A close above the latter would be a bullish development for a run towards 2,300-2,325. The Nasdaq reached a peak of 14,755 before ending at 14,654 (+1.1%). Fresh resistance at 14,650-14,800 was recovered. A pop above the latter and the 50-day moving average keeps upside towards 14,900-15,050 in focus. The Dow tapped an intraday high of 34,975 while settling at 34,754 (+1%). Prior and lower resistance at 34,750-35,000 was cleared and held. A close above the latter and the 50-day moving average would suggest further strength towards 35,250-35,500. The S&P 500 closed at 4,399 (+0.9%) with the peak kissing 4,429. New and lower resistance at 4,425-4,450 was breached but held. A move above the latter and the 50-day moving average would signal ongoing momentum towards 4,475-4,500.

The stock market was back in a downtrend on Monday as better-than-expected economic news was overshadowed by the inability to raise the debt limit and avert a potential government default. News that factory orders increased 1.2% in August and are now up four-straight months failed to lift sentiment. The lower lows were a renewed bearish development and comes ahead of a busy week for additional economic news with the biggest being the monthly jobs report. Volatility spiked but once again held a key level of resistance. The Nasdaq tested a midday low of 14,181 while ending at 14,255 (-2.1%). Prior and upper support from mid-July at 14,250-14,100 was breached but held. A drop below the latter would indicate additional downside pressure towards 14,000-13,850 and the 200-day moving average. The S&P 500 settled at 4,300 (-1.3%) with the low tapping 4,278. Longer-term and upper support from early July at 4,300-4,275 was tripped but held by a half-point. A close below the latter keeps a retest towards 4,250-4,225 in play. The Russell 2000 ended at 2,217 (-1.1%) after tagging an intraday low of 2,210 while closing back below its 50-day moving average. Upper support at 2,225-2,200 was triggered and failed to hold. A move below the latter and the 200-day moving average would signal additional weakness towards 2,175-2,150. The Dow bottomed at 33,821 before finishing at 34,002 (-0.9%). Key support at 33,800 was challenged but held. A close below this level would suggest weakness towards 33,650-33,400 and the 200-day moving average.

Keep an eye on Merck (MRK). The stock could see higher highs after noting it would submit its oral, antiviral pill to the US FDA for emergency use authorization. All after analysis shows the drug cut the risk of hospitalizations or death by nearly half in a late stage trial.
According to the study, 14.1% of those that received the placebo were either hospitalized or died after 29 days, as compared to the 7.3% that received the treatment. Also, according to an independent data committee, trial recruitment can stop thanks to positive results, says Barron’s. Former US FDA Commissioner Dr. Scott Gottlieb even said, “This is a phenomenal result. This is a profound game-changer to have an oral pill that had this kind of effect, this magnitude of effect in patients who are at high-risk who are already symptomatic,” as quoted by CNBC. This is just one of the opportunities we find quite often inside Extreme Option Profits.

The stock market rebounded on Friday following positive economic data and progress in DC on the potential passage of an infrastructure bill. After a choppy open, the rally gained momentum following news President Biden was getting more involved in negotiations over the infrastructure spending bill being debated on Capitol Hill. As far as economic news, consumer sentiment rose to 72.8 in the final September reading, up from 71 in the preliminary report while the ISM manufacturing index rose 1.2 points to 61.1. Meanwhile, volatility fell but remains slightly elevated after failing to recover a key level of support. The Russell 2000 settled at 2,241 (+1.7%) with the intraday high hitting 2,252. Lower resistance at 2,225-2,250 and the 50-day moving average were cleared and held. A close above the latter would signal additional upside towards 2,275-2,300. The Dow tested an afternoon high of 34,490 before ending at 34,326 (+1.5%). Near-term and lower resistance at 34,250-34,500 was reclaimed. A move above the latter would suggest further gains towards 34,750-35,000 and the 50-day moving average. The S&P 500 finished at 4,357 (+1.2%) with the second half peak kissing 4,375. Current and lower resistance at 4,350-4,375 was recovered. A close above the latter would likely lead to a retest towards 4,400-4,425. The Nasdaq closed at 14,566 (+0.8%) after reaching a peak of 14,606. Fresh and lower resistance at 14,500-14,650 was cleared and held.

The stock market ended September on a down note after trading higher on the open following news the U.S. Senate and House approved a stopgap spending bill to keep the U.S. government afloat through early December. However, the legislation did not address the debt limit, keeping the possibility of a Mid-October default, and sending the major indexes lower throughout the session. The Dow bottomed at 33,833 before finishing at 33,843 (-1.6%). Upper support at 34,000-33,750 failed to hold. A close below the latter would suggest weakness towards 33,500-33,250 and the 200-day moving average. The S&P 500 settled at 4,307 (-1.2%) with the late day low tapping 4,306. Prior and upper support at 4,325-4,300 was breached and failed to hold. A close below the latter would be an ongoing bearish development with retest potential towards 4,275-4,250 and mid-July levels. The Russell 2000 closed on its session low of 2,204 (-0.9%). Prior and upper support at 2,225-2,200 and the 200-day moving average failed to hold. A close below the latter would signal a further fade towards 2,175-2,150. The Nasdaq ended at 14,448 (-0.4%) after tagging a September low of 14,444. Prior and upper support at 14,500-14,350 was breached and failed to hold. A drop below the latter would indicate weakness towards 14,250-14,100.
