1) Jobs in Focus<\/strong><\/p>\n

The nonfarm payrolls report is always one of the biggest events of the month, and with traders thinking the Fed is about to raise rates, tomorrow\u2019s August report is no exception<\/a><\/strong><\/span>.<\/p>\n

Today, the US dollar fell on profit-taking following weaker-than-expected Markit US Manufacturing PMI, ISM Manufacturing, and Construction Spending numbers.<\/p>\n

But it\u2019s been had a nice bounce since the Fed hawks came out in force to prepare the market for additional rate hikes.<\/p>\n

So presumably, traders are gearing up for a repeat of the big July jobs report, which was an impressive across-the-board beat.<\/p>\n

2) The Bears Fail in Spectacular Fashion.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The S&P 500<\/strong> fell 0.6% to 2157.09 in early trading and the VIX<\/strong> popped 8.9% to 14.61.<\/p>\n

That had a lot of folks — myself included — thinking the S&P would have its first 1% down day since June 27.<\/p>\n

However, that small dip was quickly bought and the index climbed up to finish flat on the day.<\/p>\n

Biotechnology overcame an early deficit to turn green, and we also saw rebounds in large cap tech and transports.<\/p>\n

Regional banks led the decliners column, and energy was weak due to another drop in oil prices.<\/p>\n

3) Jeff Cooper on Twitter\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Twitter<\/strong> (TWTR) has been one of the hottest stocks in the market, and today, Jeff Cooper<\/a><\/strong> stepped in to break down the action:<\/p>\n

TWTR <\/strong>continues be on the prowl into the weekend on great expectations of something going on.<\/p>\n

This morning it Pinocchioed\u00a0 the 20 strike which perpetuated some selling and a pullback to yesterday's highs coincident with the 20 period on the 10 min as anticipated in yesterday's note.<\/p>\n

Note how this morning's spike occurred out of an hourly bull flag following yesterday's surge.<\/p>\n
