wouldn't it be cool to know by % if gaps fill in days/weeks vs months. that would be a good hedge on staying in or exiting...
 
The S&P 500 futures gapped open lower Sunday evening but has already nearly filled that gap...

Interesting futures movement.

I really liked the "pin action" of stocks late last week. Would have been worried if we kept going up, but having a few flat to -0.50% down days after a big 6% upsurge is usually indicative of "smart money" staying in, and on the ready to buy more...as long as geo-political/commodity news stays positive.
 
Another gap and some possible resistance. If those can break, the bulls would be back in charge, so the bears have some work to do today if they want to stall this bear market rally.

The SPY gapped open above the 50-day EMA while the S&P 500 Index is hitting it now.

Open gaps on the S&P 500 Index itself - as opposed to the SPY, are pretty rare.

That's 3 open upward gaps on the SPX within 5 days, that might be some kind of record...
 
The test for oil should come tomorrow. The futures are rolling into the April contracts tomorrow and today's move higher could be as a result of a short-covering rally in the March contracts.

Overnight oil futures...

It's very early but the opening rally has already been turned away by the 50-day SMA. That's the test here... overhead resistance and the top of the range. A breakout will be a good sign, but it does have to get through the top of that trading channel to turn more bullish.
