SPI Trading 20th March 2008

SPI Daily and Intra-charts

Yesterday closed above the 3-day highs @ 5227, this is often the first sign that the bottom for March has been confirmed.

However, often when the 3-day cycle changes the market can stall and reverse back down over the next 1 or 2 days before the UP move continues.

Thursday:- If the reversal plays out then 5254 is the upside Risk and expectation that price is pushing down into the 5-day 50% level @ 5202.

Further weakness would see price push down into 5164, which could easily happen.


UP day????....

A 3-day break also signals a bullish price pattern:- Trading above the 3-day high breakout and using 5254 as a Risk level. If price is trading above 5254 then the expectation is price is moving UP towards the 5-day highs (Weekly 50% 5335)

This also aligns with a lower open today and a lower spiral point.

Note: There is no guarantee that 5-day highs will be reached, but they are the only levels above 5254.

In Conclusion:- It's an each way bet today, but the line in the sand on today's direction is 5254.

Even though I have modelled a scenario with a weaker price pattern whilst it's trading below 5254, I won't be shorting the open because it's a lower Spiral point.

The only thing would interest me 'shorting' would be a 22-point rejection pattern under 5254.
