Pre-Market Brief

Good morning. Futures are marginally higher, the sp +3pts or so, we're set to open around 1554/55. The dollar is fractionally higher, along with Oil. Gold is -$6, Silver is flat. The sp'1570s still seem viable in the very near term.

Summary

There is lots of econ-data this morning, so Mr Market will have all the excuses it needs to pick a direction..and run with it. 

*in the previous 3 cycle peaks, we've seen sideways chop usually for 3-6 weeks, and we're only at week 2/3, depending on how you look at it.
---

*I'm still long via SLV, but am looking to drop that today. Silver itself remains in an incredibly tight trading range. It could burst a little higher, only to get stuck at key resistance, and then collapse. A few daily closes >30/31 though, and 38/40 opens up...rather fast.


SLV, daily2

meanwhile, USO - which I've also been meddling in (long) lately is still battling higher. I don't expect it to be able to break/hold over the mid 34s.

Indeed, next week, I will look to be shorting USO down into April/May.
