Both Monday and Tuesday the S&P closed above 2100. On Tuesday the S&P broke through 2110 which for a lot of traders was a “sell point” where many had discussed moving out of positions they had bought earlier in October. Whether this happens right away is anyone’s guess, but at some point the S&P will retest the 2100 level, in my opinion, and it could be as soon as Wednesday. If not Wednesday it could be Friday when the non-farm payroll numbers come out. If the employment numbers show strength which is what analysts expect, this could mean a December rate hike will be far more likely. That will depress stocks.
