DOW (S&P) 5th DEC 2008 Daily recap

"There has been some form of support for the past two days, and the same can be the case on Friday.

Whether it continues higher or not is another matter:- no probability pattern on direction.

Trade on the side of support = Yellow"


Premium Report




DOW Weekly and 5-day pattern

Tight 5-day pattern this week, saw Friday sell down into Friday's lows....

Reverse, and once above the Yellow support the bias was to continue higher into Friday, as it follows the Weekly bias of closing higher into Friday.




SPI 5th December 2008 recap

"At this stage I favour a rise upwards in early trading, but if the SPI is going to continue down into Friday's lows, price should stall at resistance and then continue lower.

Basically a higher move into resistance, and then a rotation downward into Friday's lows, which aligns with another 87 points range downward"


Premium Report


SPI 16:15

SPI opened lower off support @ 3475 moving upwards 87 points.

I had the view most of today that once price had reached those highs, there was a pattern of rotating back down into the lows, which could see the SPI around Friday's lows @ 3455.

  • S&P (e-mini) 4th December 08 recap

    "S&P:- not a daily hook...

    Along with having two inside days within Monday's trading range and below the Weekly 50% level can send the market lower over the next two days.

    Basically Thursday's support will verify the price action of the next two days and Friday's closing price, as it follow the 5-day range highs or lows......

    S&P doesn't provide a probability pattern other than reacting to the price action either side of support (yellow)"

    S&P Weekly and 5-day pattern

    Early support on Thursday pushed the market higher, but then reversed back down, as it failed around the Weekly 50% level once again.....

  • SPI 4th December 2008 recap.

    "I've been bearish this week based on the higher timeframe patterns, but US market's price action on Wednesday has changed this.

    At this stage I'm leaning to higher prices into Friday.....

    Simply trade on the side of the 5-day 50% level

    Below the 5-day 50% level and it's obvious that the Aussie market isn't following on Thursday"

    Premium Report



    SPI Weekly and 5-day pattern

    Higher open due to US markets up move on Wednesday and my expectation that whilst price was above the 5-day 50% level the market was moving higher into Friday.

    Once back below the 5-day 50% level, the market was once again following the overall trend down.

    As mentioned in the US market recap below, the daily HOOK over the Weekly 50% level on the DOW can send the market higher into Friday.

    However, the S&P failed to HOOK over the Weekly 50% level, and along with two inside days within Monday's overall trading range, US markets can easily follow a 2-day down move on a break of support on Thursday.

    Basically Thursday's support will determine the trend over the next two days, as it follows the 5-day dynamic range outward.




    DOW (S&P) 3rd DEC 2008 Daily recap

    "Break of the Weekly 50% level and expectation is that prices will continue down into the Weekly lows.

    Wednesday:- the only conclusion I can see on Wednesday is a move lower.

    A break of support (yellow) will confirm the down move into Wednesday's lows.


    Don't short trade above those 5-day 50% levels:- Daily HOOK over the Weekly 50%"


    Premium Report


    DOW Weekly and 5-day pattern

    I had modelled further weakness on Wednesday based on the price action of the past two days, as part of the Monthly dynamics.

    However, price bounced off support and moved above the 5-day 50% level, with a late rally into the close.

    This has now resulted in a HOOK bar over the Weekly 50% level, and now the expectation is that US markets should continue to rise higher into Friday.


    SPI 3rd December 2008 recap

    "Expectation that this week would start with a 2-day reversal pattern on the down side.

    Those two days are over, and now Wednesday's trading is an each way bet....

    Trend guide the 5-day 50% level @ 3632.

    Below the 5-day 50% and the overall trend continues down:- 3rd day sell pattern"


    Premium Report



    SPI Weekly and 5-day pattern

    Expectation of lower prices in December, and Wednesday's trading in the SPI today played out near precise...

    Early rise into the 5-day 50% level @ 3632 and reverse down from a R44 high

    3x44 bars down, 3x44 bars up, and another rotation downward into the close.

    If US markets move lower on Wednesday, which is what I have modelled, then the SPI should be opening around Thursday's lows tomorrow, if not lower.

  • DOW (S&P) Daily 2nd 2008 Daily recap

    "Text book patterns:- higher Weekly open and expectation of a 2-day reversal.

    2-day reversal has a random length, with the first day breaking the Weekly 50% level.

    First day reversal broke out of the 5-day lows.....

    Text book pattern:- as it follows the continuation of the 2-day down move would be SET-UP A.

    Set-up A:- Retest the 5-day break (5-day 50% ) early on Tuesday and then continue down into Tuesday's 5-day lows.

    This pattern would complete a 2 day down pattern"


    Premium Report



    DOW Weekly and 5-day pattern

    Set-up A played out on Tuesday, except the continuation down into Tuesday's lows didn't eventuate.

    At this stage the 5-day 50% level has resisted price, but now the 2-day sell pattern has completed.

    There is still the expectation of lower prices this week, unless Wednesday 'Hook's back above the Weekly 50% level once again.

  • SPI 2nd December 2008 recap

    "We are opening below 3584 on Tuesday, and at this stage the only thing supporting the market today is....

    The 5-day lows @ 3511 and this afternoon's reserve bank meeting.

    Simply trade on the side of the 5-day lows @ 3511....


    A lower gap open and above the 5-day lows @ 3511, could see the SPI back towards 3584, and move higher towards 14:30 today (rate cut) & 3626"


    Premium Report




    SPI Weekly and 5-day pattern

    Overall trend is to continue down towards the Weekly and monthly lows in December, and as expected once price moved up into the rate announcement @ 3626.....

    Price would probably reverse back down, as it follows the bear-trend, and a double Monthly low pattern in December...


    S&P (e-mini) 1st December 08 recap

    "There is the probability of moving into lower lows this month (December) on any failure of the Weekly 50% level over the next 2 days.

    Being a higher Weekly open, there is a probability of a 2-day pattern to move lower.

    As pointed out in the Weekly report, a higher Weekly open normally moves into a 2-day consolidating period before the market continues higher.

    If that's the case simply trade on the side of support"


    Premium Report



    S&P Weekly and 5-day pattern

    Expectation that the first two days this week would reverse down, but Monday has moved a lot further than I expected for 1 day to move, as it breaks the 5-day lows...

    Once support on Monday broke the trading length was random, and in this case resulting in a trending day downwards.

    However the price is simply part of the larger timeframe analysis and what I expected to occur this month, as my view is that markets are moving down into lower lows in December.

  • SPI 1st December 2008 Daily recap

    "Set-up A:- continues higher this week back towards the Monthly 50% level.

    This is helped by tomorrow's Reserve bank meeting and likely rate cuts.

    Set-up B:- November lows support shifts lower, Weekly 50% level and a higher Weekly open can see the SPI begin to move down once again.

    It's a higher Weekly open, and often higher Weekly opens move down 2 days"


    Premium Report




    SPI Weekly and 5-day pattern

    Being a higher Weekly open and trading below 3758, there was a bias to continue down early today.

    This is part of a 2-day 'stall' pattern, with the expectation to pull back into the 5-day 50% level.

    At this stage I favour lower prices this month, but with tomorrow's Reserve meeting and expected rate cut, this could put a rocket in the market to continue towards the December 50% level.

    If US markets move lower on Monday, and the SPI is trading below 3618 tomorrow, then regardless of any rate cut, the SPI will probably begin to move lower after any rate announcement.
