THE HEDGEYE DAILY OUTLOOK

09/15/11 08:08AM EDT

TODAY’S S&P 500 SET-UP - September 15, 2011

As we look at today’s set up for the S&P 500, the range is 38 points or -1.40% downside to 1172 and 1.79% upside to 1210.

SECTOR AND GLOBAL PERFORMANCE

A 3 day rally finally gives us a bullish immediate-term TRADE signal for both the SP500 and 7 of 9 S&P Sectors. It’s been a long drought, but all droughts end with a fresh squeeze of water. The SP500’s TRADE line of support is now 1172.  We have been getting longer because of a heightening probability of establishing higher-YTD-lows for the SP500 and that’s still what the model is signaling (if 1172 were to break, I still have significant support at 1141 vs the YTD closing low of 1119).

The 2 of 9 Sectors that remain bearish on our immediate-term TRADE duration are Financials (XLF) and Industrials (XLI) which are down -21% and -10.1% for the YTD, respectively. We are short Industrials (XLI) and long Utilities (XLU) which remains the top performing sector in the SP500 at +7.0% YTD.
