The E-Mini S&P poked its snout above June’s peaks yesterday, daring bears to stand firm. For our part, we’d prefer to step aside while the futures make their way toward 998.50, a Hidden Pivot from the weekly chart that will serve as a minimum upside objective for the near term. Please note that that would fall a smidgen shy of the 1002.25 print (see inset) we’d said was needed to refresh the bullish trend on the longer-term charts.
