There was certainly a sense of tax-conscious selling in the new calendar year, hammering 2023\u2019s leadership. The E-mini S&amp;P finished down only 0.7%, whereas the E-mini Dow was nearly unchanged. As we enter the second trading day of the year, the selling was broader overnight, and the focus will shift to economic data and FOMC Minutes. The ISM Manufacturing report for December is due at 9:00 am CT, along with JOLTs for November. Later in the day, the Fed Minutes from the December 13<sup>th<\/sup>&nbsp;meeting, one which underpinned an \u2018everything rally\u2019, are due at 1:00 pm CT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After struggling overnight, the E-mini S&amp;P is closing in on major three-star support at 4749.75-4755.50 and support aligning with the December 20<sup>th<\/sup>&nbsp;low at 4742.25-4746.25. Additionally, we have rare major four-star support in the E-mini NQ at 15,590-16,628, which was tested and held yesterday. We have additional levels of support underneath here; we anticipate the likeliness of a breach given the broad move. However, what matters for both the E-mini S&amp;P and E-mini NQ is if a breach can close constructively back above these significant levels. If so, we could see a reprieve in the selling, leading to a back test of the two-day range while traders and investors await Nonfarm Payroll on Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bias: Neutral\/Bullish<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Resistance: 4787.25-4789.75***, 4796.75-4797.50**, 4808.25-4809***, 4820-4823***, 4828**, 4833.50-4835.50***, 4837.50-4839.75**, 4851.50**, 4873.25-4874.50**, 4884.75*, 4918.25***, 4956.50***<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pivot: 4773.25-4776<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Support: 4765.50-4567.75**, 4761.50**, 4749.75-4755.50***, 4742.25-4746.25***, 4734.75-4738.50***<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-nq-march\"><strong>NQ (March)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Resistance: 16,720-16,737**, 16,760-16,788***, 16,815*, 16,873-16,896***, 16,987-17,024***, 17,049-17,055**, 17,095-17,108***, 17,137-17,159***, 17,245***, 17,493-17,500****<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pivot: 16,668<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Support: 16,590-16,628****, 16,542**, 16,373-16,410***, 16,280-16,306**, 16,000-16,079****<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/bluelinefutures.com\/free-trial\/\">Blue Line Futures provides daily actionable research and a professional trade desk.
