Stock Trading Alert: Indexes still near long-term highs

December 9, 2013, 6:25 AM

The main U.S. stock market indexes gained between 0.8% and 1.3% on Friday, as investors reacted to better-than-expected jobs report announcement for the month of November. The S&P 500 index retraced most of its recent decline, getting closer to the November 29 all-time high of 1,813.55 (Friday’s daily high at 1,806.04). The nearest resistance is at 1,810-1,815, and the main support remains at 1,770-1,775. For now, it looks like a few-week long consolidation following October-November uptrend, as we can see on the daily chart:

Expectations before the opening of today’s session are virtually flat, with index futures currently gaining 0.1%. The European stock market indexes have been mixed so far. The S&P 500 futures contract (CFD) trades above its Friday’s range, however, near the resistance at around 1,810. The support is at 1,800, as the 15-minute chart shows:
