ST and IT the market direction depends on how the US-China trade talks will play out.  It's going to be mostly news-driven or even fake news driven ..........

YEAH, it's news-driven

 

Also note the SHUTDOWN votes in the SENATE

 

BUT earnings could send it spiraling down or soaring above SPX 2700

The two shutdown votes are very likely to fail in the Senate tomorrow.  The market is not, should not be counting on it.

Now testing that SPX 2620 level

A break below this can quickly send it to below 2600

 

However, I expect much harder going for the bear below SPX 2620.... unless there is more bad news

 

Chinese appeared to be ramping up their game as they realize the market decline is not painless for Washington. Of course, they are working in tandem with N Korea.

Strong reversal from the low. 

 

SPX 2640 is the key resistance to turn this around for the bulls.

Positive divergences developed on the SPX hourly chart with the SPX 50 dma double tested successfully.  I see the market will go higher tomorrow to fill in the gap left from yesterday ................

I agree with your Technical Analysis..... 

...but there are so many negatives that can affect this news-driven market that I will 

prefer SPX to close above the recent highs before taking a bullish stance.
