Monday, January 12, 2009 at 07:42AM Welcome back from the weekend, hope it was a good one! Time to lace up your boots and climb back into the trenches!
Since Friday's session ended on a dour note and we are seeing continuation overnight in the index futures, look for the market to open up lower near trend support in the S&P illustrated below:

In my humble opinion, this is one of the last few support levels left before this trend breaks. If the recent dip shown above isn't bought near 880ish, the last possible support level left in this trend would be at 860. If the last two dips near 860 are broken, get short and stay short. In the meantime, try to stay balanced this week as the market searches for a sturdy floor.
The intra-day trends got pretty quiet towards the end of last week, but things should start to heat up this week as we head towards the expiration of January options. If you are going to be day trading, don't forget Monday's pivot points:
