  • S&P (e-mini) DOW 3rd Ocotber 08 recap

    "Trading below the monthly 50% levels and expectation price is heading down into the Monthly lows.

    Friday:- Breakout of channel support yesterday and price normally continues down into support the next day.

    The most robust pattern would be an early rise in the 5-day 50% level, and then continue down"

    S&P Daily and 5-day pattern

    Friday ends up following the pattern of 5-day 50% level rejection within the 5-day pattern, which is also part of the higher timeframe pattern of moving down into October lows.

  • SPI Trading 3rd October 2008 recap

    "Weekly timeframe closes on Friday which will verify the October levels.

    Whilst below the 50% level next week, the SPI is moving into a double bottom, but any up trend in the 4th Quarter will be dependant on the monthly 50% level from next week.

    Today:- Depending on where the market opens today but the expectation is that the SPI is pushing down into 4622:- Resistance in early trading could be the September lows @ 4701.

    Note:- if the double R21 plays out today off support, then the focus is to trade UP towards the filter, and with more short-covering in the last 100 minutes could see price back towards the 5-day 50% level. (4771)"

    SPI Weekly and 5-day pattern

    Expectation that friday was going to come down into 4622 and then look for a move back towards the 5-day 50% level.

    Everything started out well, with early resistance around 4701 pushing the market down, but not down far enough.

    Short-covering rally into the close towards the 5-day 50% level in the last 100 minutes of trading.

    The interesting part in all this has been the SPI's closure above September's lows @ 4701 on the last day, and will be trading around the 50% level next week.

  • S&P (e-mini) DOW 2nd October 08 recap

    "Trading below the monthly 50% level:- resistance until it breaks.

    My view stands that markets have found their lows in 2008, but any 4th Quarter up trend has to be verified by the October 50% level, other wise global markets can continue down.

    The most robust pattern for any down-trend to continue into October lows would be:-

    Test and Reject the Monthly 50% level this week, and then move down from next week..

    Thursday:- Support:- as shown (yellow)

    Above support and Monthly 50% levels resistance.

    Below support and the potential to move down into the 5-day lows is a possibility."

    S&P Daily and 5-day pattern

    US markets trading below the Monthly 50% levels in October and the trend continues down, with the probable path towards October lows.

    Thursday:- breaks support and follows the 5-day pattern lower...


    SPI Trading 2nd October 2008 recap

    "Today:- once again it's about the same level as yesterday @ 4867.

    It's also a R44 spiral top, which favours a move back down into the 50% levels once again.

    Therefore my view in early trading is a move into the 50% levels from 4867 and once again the 50% levels are random support":-

    SPI Daily and 5-day pattern Recap 15:30

    The Aussie market is currently being supported above the October
    50% level, but being dragged down by Resource stocks.

    For day trading purposes, today was ideal 'spiral-point'
    rotating patterns within the 5-day range.

    Once this Weekly timeframe ends on Friday it will give us a clear
    indication which way the market will go in October from next week, and i'm not bullish on resource stocks in the 4th Quarter.

    The best case scenario for the rest of 2008 has been described,
    more sideways price action with higher prices in November and then
    a continuation down in 2009 into lower lows.

    The worse case scenario for global markets will depend largely on
    resource stocks (Weekly report on Weekend)

    If the market closes below 4232 at the end of 2008 because
    Resource stocks drop into Yearly lows in the 4th Quarter, the down trend
    will continue for another 2 years.

    There will be a large counter-trend move upwards in 2009 into the
    Yearly 50% level, but after that, the market will drift lower for the next
    2 years into 2010....

    and a lot of hurt.

    Dilernia Prinicple:- breakout of timeframe lows and the market moves in a 2 timeframe wave pattern extension. In this case the Yearly timeframe

  • S&P (e-mini) DOW 1st Ocotber 08 recap

    "It is these Monthly 50% levels which will decide whether US markets move down into October lows, or follow my view and begin a 3-month uptrend (slightly), over the next Quarterly timeframe.

    And that depends on how the FED bail out plan plays out this week...

    At this stage:- October 50% levels are still viewed as resistance until they fail (break)

    Today:- 2 plays

    A. Continues up from the 5-day 50% levels towards the monthly 50% levels, which could send both US markets down into 'yellow' support on Wednesday.

    Or....

    B. 5-day 50% level could resist price early and push US markets down into Yellow support, and then could see a move towards the October 50% levels."

    S&P Daily and 5-day pattern

    Early resistance around the 5-day 50% level pushing US markets down, but not down far enough, as the swing low off support didn't reach for a move UP towards the October 50% levels on Thursday.


    SPI Daily 1st October 2008 Recap

    Trader Premium Morning Report:-

    "First day of the Quarter and the Month, and the interesting part is price is opening right on the 50% level, which will define the trend over the next 3-months.

    There are still 3-days to go until the end of the week, which will confirm the levels, but even within the daily close the 50% level is important.

    And what sends the SPI in either direction will be heavily influenced by BHP and other resource stocks. (Read the BHP) report.

    Today:- I don't see the SPI moving above 4867, Below 4814 and it's back down into the 5-day 50% level:- valid support. (4757-70)


    SPI Daily and 5-day pattern

    SPI opens higher and sells down from 4867 and into the 5-day 50% levels finding support.

    And look where the SPI is trading:- right on the October 50% level, which is going to decide the direction of the market for the next 4 weeks.

    Upside is back towards October highs and resistance and moving into a 4 week sideways pattern and then continue higher from November.

    If Resource stocks continue down from next week, then the SPI will follow the pattern of a lower low in October.

    And all global markets will be heavily influenced by the FED's bailout plan

  • S&P (e-mini) DOW 30th Sept 08

    S&P Daily and 5-day pattern

    Last day of the Quarter and Month and the important levels have been set for October 2008.

    The Yearly lows in September (read Weekly Report) will be verified once price has move above the October 50% levels.

    http://usindexweekly.blogspot.com/

    It is these Monthly 50% levels which will decide whether US markets move down into October lows, or follow my view and begin a 3-month uptrend (slightly), over the next Quarterly timeframe.

    And that depends on how the FED bail out plan plays out this week...

    At this stage:- October 50% levels are still viewed as resistance until they fail (break)

    Above 1198 and the view is to move back towards 1282 and stall, and then drift back down into a consolidating 4 week pattern between both the 50% level and October highs.

    Further weakness and S&P is down around 1081 in October....

    • SPI Trading 30th September 2008 Recap

      Premium Report:-

      "But we have levels to trade:- random support 4467.

      Above 4467 and who knows how far today rises???? can price swing back all the way to the 5-day lows @ 4740.... it could.

      Once SPI has completed the move into the gap and 5-day lows @ 4740....

      The SPI can do two things:- re-test the breakout @ 4740 and then continue down into Wednesday's lows tomorrow which will be below 4400 on the SPI" (or open higher)



      SPI Weekly and 5-day pattern


      SPI closed the gap @ 4970 and has continued down, with a possibility that price could end up around Wednesday's lows, which is below 4400, and that will depend on US markets.


      Today is the last day of the month and Quarter, and I mentioned that a re-test of the Yearly lows (double low) could play out before any higher move in October.


      We have had the double low today, but that low hasn't occurred in October.

      Once again the trend guide in the last Quarter will be determined by the monthly 50% levels, and how well Resource stocks bounce from current lows, because it will be them dragging the market lower.

      S&P (e-mini) DOW 29th Sept 08 Recap

      S&P Daily and 5-day pattern

      Break of support early on Monday before US markets opened, and once the 5-day lows broke it was a free fall down into recent lows.

      As pointed out two weeks ago, the lows in the market have to be verified by the October 50% level, and being the last day of the month on Tuesday, traders should know by the close of September 30th, how far October can continue down.

      And once again the 50% level will determine the strength of any trend in the last Quarter.

    • SPI Trading 29th September 2008 recap



      SPI Daily and 5-daY PATTERN

      1 day to go until the end of the Quarter, and the SPI is trading around the October 50% level.

      This level from Wednesday will define the direction the next month, and as pointed out 2 weeks ago, a down move is not out of the question dragged down by resource stocks, and resource stocks dragged the market down today.

      SPI Spiral filter

      Exact same pattern as Friday using the spiral filter.

      Short the break and the reversal pattern on the cross over of the brown filter, resulting in short covering into the close.
