SP 500 Emini Update

Wednesday, September 1st, 2010

SP 500 Emini held 1037 support area

SP 500 Emini held 1037 support area

The chart posted shows support and resistance areas to be watching over the next few days.
The SP 500 tested the 1037 support area a few times and has held. This is now important support to watch.
Above I have marked in a few resistance areas to keep an eye on.
For resistance, if the market trades strongly above 1064 - 1065.50 then the 1072.75 is also a resistance area to watch.
The DOW Index has held the Daily .618 retracement and the SP 500 Emini has also been holding this area, although it traded lower than the .618.
Today we will see a gap up open, watch for any signs of trend off the open.
Have a great trading day!

SP 500 Daily Update

Tuesday, August 24th, 2010

The update today shows an overall picture of the SP 500 on a 60 minute chart. There are gaps shown in upper portion that are an island reversal pattern and bearish price action following.
Today is going to have a large gap down open. Price in globex is trading around the 1053 area which can be seen on the chart at the red arrow. It is also at the .618 retracement area. Watch to see how this holds as support. Rallies have been failing and leading to more downside.
The important low to watch is the 1006 low from early July.
For today watch if any rally back up to the 1061 - 1065 area. We may see a short term, intraday, sell setup in that area.
Overall this longer term picture looks as though more downside to come.

SP 500 Update

Wednesday, August 18th, 2010

The chart shows a few areas to watch over the next days/weeks.
The 1127 area above has been strong resistance that is larger area on upside to monitor if any rally attempts back up.
A few gap areas worth noting:
Upside - 1101.25 - 1119.25
Downside - 1083.25 - 1077.25
If SP 500 Emini trades to the downside below the lower gap area then 1064-1066 and then the 1053 area are next support levels to monitor.
Have a great trading day!

SP 500 Emini Daily Update

Monday, August 16th, 2010

Watch 1084.25 Fridays highs as resistance, if the market trades above that then we will be watching for retracements higher and the unfilled gap at 1101.50.
If the market trades lower today watch the 1070 area and below that unfilled gap at 1064 - 1066 and then the 1053 pivot area.
Friday was an inside day and narrowing range so there is room for range expansion today.
Have a great trading day!

SP 500 Daily Update

Thursday, August 12th, 2010

Downside break from the coil, see chart posted on yesterdays blog, and trend day down.
There is a gap close below at 1066 area and then lows from mid July at 1053.
Yesterdays close was 1084.75 and we will see another gap down open today. A test back up towards the close of yesterday may setup a shorting opportunity.
We will be watching for a setup if price rallies up to that area. 1091 is also a good resistance area to watch.
We will also watch for a possible buy pattern (short term intraday) pattern to form around the 1066 area, this is fora short term trade only because the market has broken to the downside from the large coil.
Have a great trading day!

SP 500 Coil

SP 500 Coil

The chart shows the large coil that has been forming in the SP 500 Emini. In our Live Charts Forum we have been watching this coil form and have been talking about the levels to watch.
The 1127.75 area has been strong resistance and has been tested several times. The high yesterday following the FOMC announcement was 1124.50, did not quite fill the gap from yesterdays open.
We pointed out yesterday to our traders in our trade room that 1108.25 was first level to watch on the downside followed by 1103.
The market is down in globex and will open with a large gap down! It is below both of these levels, watch the open today and see how the large gap down open reacts, that is, does price attempt a rally back up into gap or does it continue down. There is potential for a larger range today and potential trend day out of this coil (trend can be either direction).
Have a great trading day!

SP 500 Daily Update

Monday, August 9th, 2010

SP had a break to the downside out of range and traded down to the gap area on Friday, held then very strong move back up into the middle of the range.

Watch 1127.75 on the upside and 1103.75 on the downside.
There is an FOMC meeting this week with the announcement on Tuesday, we will see coming into Tuesday if this range is still holding and possiblly the FOMC announcement is a catalyst to break it out.
Today we will watch for support on first test down if an abcd pattern forms.

Above the 1127.75 area there are larger patterns that are forming that we will keep you updated on if price moves higher.
Have a great trading day!
