S&P (e-mini) 21st November 08 recap

"US markets have reached their November lows....

Higher timeframe support, but because of Thursday's breakout....

The expectation is that the 5-day 50% level will form a resistance zone.

I'm expecting a further push down, but i'd be surprised to see a continuation down into Friday's lows.

At this stage Friday looks like a consolidating trading day below the 5-day 50% level, which also matches the breakout of the Weekly lows"


Premium Report





S&P Weekly and 5-day pattern

US markets opened higher and pushed down failing to reach Friday's support zone, which I thought it would....

And late short-covering in the Futures market has sent the S&P back towards it's 5-day 50% level and Weekly breakout level.

  • SPI 21st November 2008 recap

    "SPI opening around the same dynamic levels as yesterday.

    Trend guide 3223

    Random resistance 3275

    Random support

    At this stage my view is a similar day as yesterday

    Above 3275 after 3pm could see more buying to close the gaps on the upside :- 3379"



    Premium report



    SPI Weekly and 5-day pattern

    SPI consolidated below 3275 until late buying sent the market back towards the 'gaps' @ 3379.

    There was further buying into the close, as price continues back towards the 5-day 50% level into sycom (3555)

    Friday's price action aligns with moving back and retesting the breakouts this week of the Weekly lows and October low breakouts around 3548.

    At this stage this is viewed only as a short-term bounce to fill the gaps of the past two days.

    Weekly report out tomorrow....

  • DOW (S&P) Daily 20th Nov 2008 recap

    "US markets heading down into Weekly and Monthly lows....

    Wednesday's view on a break of support was to continue down into the 5-day lows.

    Thursday:- expectation that support on Thursday is random.

    I think there will be early support which could see US markets bounce, but will probably struggle to get higher than Tuesday's lows.

    Normally I would look for support and a swing back towards the 5-day 50% level, but I think that the downside 'slide' into lower Monthly levels will control the market.

    Any bounce and then lower retest of the support levels later in the day might not hold"


    Premium Report




    DOW Weekly and 5-day pattern

    Thursday's Trading in the US acted near precise to the Premium Report.

    1. Push down into Support and rally back into Tuesday's lows.

    2. Reverse back down into Support, which broke and has continued down.

    3 higher timeframe patterns driving the market lower in November's lows and probably continue lower into December's lows.


    SPI 20th November 2008 recap

    "US Markets continue down into their Weekly and Monthly lows, and the SPI will open down in 'sick-gut' territory....

    Today:- trade on the side of 3379

    Below and it's down into Thursday's lows.

    Above and it's filling the gaps on the upwards in early trading.

    Simply use the levels:- 3379 and 3420 (resistance)"


    Premium Report



    SPI Weekly and 5-day pattern

    SPI lower Gap open, but remained between both 3379 and 3420 for most of the trading day.

    With Financials not showing any life, and certainly not resource stocks, there isn't anything that is going to reverse the slide at this stage.


    S&P (e-mini) 19th November 08 recap

    "Expectation that US markets are heading down towards their Weekly and Monthly lows....

    Yesterday I was looking for an UP day to swing US markets back towards their Weekly 50% level.

    Price didn't move all the way back the the Weekly 50% levels on Tuesday, but it can still continue higher on Wednesday.

    However on Wednesday I'm not as confident that this is going to happen.

    Below support and US markets are continuing down into their 5-day lows, as markets continue down into the Weekly and Monthly lows"


    Premium Report


    S&P Weekly and 5-day pattern


    US markets follow the 5-day break of support and down into Wednesday's lows, with the expectation of further lows this week.



    SPI 19th November 2008 recap.

    "In the 24 hour market, the SPI has reversed off its November's lows helped by US markets having an UP day with the late rally off support.

    This sets up my view of a reversal pattern over the next 3-days back towards the Weekly 50% level.

    Therefore at this stage a 3-day UP move towards the Weekly 50% level needs to see the SPI trading above 3626. (Weekly lows).....

    SPI Weekly and 5-day pattern

    Once again trade the levels:- Today's trend guide is defined by 3568.

    Above and it needs to break 3626:- Resistance.

    Above 3626 and the SPI is looking to move as high as the 5-day 50% level.

    Below 3568 and it's back down into 3520....

    Below 3520 and it's down into 3471."


    Premium Report


    SPI Weekly and 5-day pattern

    My view is that the SPI is supported around the current lows and I'm looking for a move back towards the Weekly 50% level over the next 3 days.

    Today was simply trade the 5-day levels.

    It started well with the SPI moving higher from 3568 early in the day...

    But once the market opened after 10am sellers entered the market, which coincided with the lift of the ban on short-trading resulting in Resource stocks being sold down, pushing the market down.

    Once below 3568, the market path was to continue down into 3520, and below that 3471.

    Late short-covering around current Monthly lows.

  • DOW (S&P) Daily 18th Nov 2008 Recap

    "Expectation of US markets heading down towards their Weekly lows.....

    However:- a bounce off the 5-day filter support levels will probably see US markets swing back towards their weekly 50% levels....."


    Premium Report



    DOW Weekly and 5-day pattern

    Even though I'm looking for a continuation down into the Weekly lows, my expectation that US markets would be supported on Tuesday and swing back towards the Weekly 50% level.

    There was early support on Tuesday pushing the market higher, but then slipped back to retest support.

    Support has held on Tuesday, but the bounce wasn't as robust as I hoped.

    Until a late surge in futures saw some 'robust' buying into the close.

  • SPI 18th November 2008 recap

    SPI will complete the move down into November's lows today. Once these lows have been reached, I'm expecting a counter-trend move back towards the Weekly 50% level.

    That is obviously going to be influenced only if US markets have an UP day on Tuesday (rotation back towards the Weekly 50% level).

    Tuesday:- Trend guide 3626.

    Above 3626 the expectation is that the SPI is rotating back towards the Weekly 50% level. (1-3 days)


    Below and target is 3573, below 3573 and price is pushing down towards Tuesday's 5-day lows @ 3530"


    Premium Report

    SPI Weekly and 5-day pattern

    The SPI started with a 2x44 rally from 3626 upwards, stalled and reversed back down...

    " SPI is moving into a double R44 range and stall and reverse...

    With most UP moves I would like to see a 44 point reversal and then continue any further gains from a 44 point low and rising higher...Any push down towards 3626 this afternoon has to hold.

    Below 3626 and probably head down towards 3573"

    Premium Report 10:48


    The SPI reversed around the top after 11am and reversed back down into 3626.

    If the SPI was going to rise upwards then it had to bounce off 3626 and continue higher.

    If it broke 3626 then the SPI was heading down into 3573.

    If 3572 couldn't hold after 3pm it was going down into the 5-day lows @ 3530.


    Those market paths were mapped out, and it was simply trade the levels.


    In conclusion:-

    This price action reminds me of the blow-off top early November, after the rotation back into the November 50% level @ 4315.

    The market rallied into the 5-day highs @ 4360, and then reversed back down with US markets reversing.

    Therefore if this is a blow off bottom using the 5-day lows, then US markets need to reverse upwards on Tuesday back into their weekly 50% levels.

    As I pointed out in the Weekly report, once these levels reach down on Monday-Tuesday, i'm looking for a reversal back towards the Weekly 50% level over the next 3 days.

    But that's not going to happen if US markets have a down day on Tuesday.

  • DOW (S&P) Daily 17th Nov 2008 Recap

    "Weekly 50% level resistance, with the expectation price is pushing down into the Weekly lows.

    Below and it's moving down into the blue channel support.

    No probability on direction, simply trade the levels for day-trading"


    Premium Report




    DOW Weekly and 5-day pattern

    Choppy trading day with a bias to continue down into the blue channel on Monday.


    SPI 17th November 2008 Daily recap

    "SPI pushing down into Weekly and November's lows, but i'm also looking for a rotation back towards the Weekly 50% level later this week....

    Higher probability if the SPI moves down early this week (Monday-Tuesday) into higher timeframe support levels (Weekly & Monthly)

    Today:- trade on the side of 3700

    Random support 3650"

    Premium Report




    SPI Weekly and 5-day pattern

    SPI following the higher timframe pattern of moving down into lower support zones.

    Today ended up choppy around 3700, but 3650 played it's supporting role.

    If US markets continue down on Monday, then the SPI should be trading around lower Support zones tomorrow.

    Any reversal back towards the Weekly 50% level will be dependant on price trading above 3626.
