Net flat or long next Friday could be the starting gun we've awaited for weeks. Momentum bulls would love to drive this thing straight to the moon but this is not 1999, sadly enough.

Support is factored from dividing puts by calls at strike levels beneath index closing price.
Resistance is factored from dividing calls by puts at strike levels above current closing price.
A reading above 10.00 is considered viable resistance or support respectively within that general strike price range. Small specs are the general trading public with commercials being financial institutions. Commercials are historically on the correct side of future trend changes while small specs are not. Extreme divergence between each signals a possible market turn in favor of the commercial trader's direction.
