Levels expanded for Apple blockbuster

The indexes closed yesterday essentially flat once again as traders awaited earnings announcements, notably Apple's. The company's blowout earnings after the market closed may lift the Nasdaq 100 substantially today, possibly eclipsing Monday's high, and could boost the rest of the market.

For that reason the levels have been expanded for all the indexes. The Russell 2000 was the outperformer in yesterday's regular session, edging above initial resistance.

Nasdaq 100 (NDX)

Support is at the October pivot high of 2412.52 and then at 2389.91. Resistance is at its 52-week high of 2445.59, then at 2467.46, and thereafter at 2477.10.

S&P 500 (SPX)

Support is at 1305.44, 1292.66, and 1284.91. Resistance is at 1315.94, 1326.05, and 1331.48.

Russell 2000 (RUT)

Support at 786.24, then its 10-day moving average at 774.98, and at 768.82 thereafter. Resistance is at 801.71, 807.66, and 814.63.
