President Trump is expected to join CNBC this morning at 7:00 am CT. Services data is front and center thereafter. The final SPGI read for July is due at 8:45 am CT, before the more closely watched ISM report at 9:00 am CT.

E-mini S&P futures are testing the gap close from last Thursday and the .618 Fibonacci retracement of the three-day range, which aligns to create major three-star resistance at 6374.25-6381. E-mini NQ futures are also testing that gap close, which aligns with the 50% Fibonacci and comes in at 23,305-23,365.

Performance Disclaimer
Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown. In fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program.
One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk in actual trading. For example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all of which can adversely affect actual trading results.
