S&P (E-minis) 15th July 2011 Recap

possible pattern on Friday:- remains within the blue channels, with 1302.50 providing support

(partial exit @ 1313.50 & resistance @ 1327.50)


S&P Weekly and Daily range


Friday's channel @ 1302.50 provided support with a swing back towards the daily 50% level, as a partial exit zone.

The rest of the day has remained within a tight trading range, as the market continues to trading in & around the higher timeframe 50% levels.

Weekly report out later









SPI Daily 15th July 2011 recap

The SPI is trading below the Weekly lows @ 4468/70, with a trend bias to continue lower.

Support 4440

SPI Weekly and Daily range


The SPI opened below the Weekly lows, therefore there was a view that the Market would continue down whilst 4468/70 would form resistance

The daily level @ 4440 was used once again in early trading as support, for a move up towards the resistance levels of 4468/70


The market rose 21 points, but once again slipped back down to close around 4440.

Weekly report out tomorrow







S&P (E-minis) 14th July 2011 Recap

whilst the S&P is below 1325 the trend bias is to continue down.

Trend bias is based on the channel lows @ 1312.50


S&P Weekly and Daily range

A few good news reports came out early on Thursday pushing the S&P upwards from the Weekly 50% level.

However, the levels around 1325 continue to resist the trend from rising.

The price action is now 'caught' between two higher timeframe levels :- Weekly 50% level and the 3rd quarterly level @ 1325.






SPI Daily 14th July 2011 recap

Trend guide and support @ 4469/73

if above target is 4526/28 (partial exit @ 4485)

if below trend bias is down into Thursday’s lows

SPI Weekly and Daily range


Whilst the market was above the Weekly lows my view was that it would try and move upwards once again with a target around 4526/28.

There was some support for the first few hours..

But then a failure which resulted in the market moving down into Thursday’s lows, and more consolidation





S&P (E-minis) 13th July 2011 Recap

As noted in the Weekly report...below 1325, there is a trend bias to continue down

Based on the levels in the daily range, my view is that the daily 50% levels will act as resistance:- 8.5 to 14 points


S&P Weekly and Daily


S&P rose up into resistance levels, and was pushed down 14 points towards the Weekly 50% level, which is currently supporting the market.

At this stage the Quarterly level @ 1325 is acting as resistance.

if below the Weekly 50% level @ 1304, the trend bias is down towards the Weekly lows.








SPI Daily 13th July 2011 recap

"Trend guide 4468/70

if the market is above 4468/70, then there could be a swing back towards 4512-22


Initial move is 42 points from yesterday's lows"

 
SPI Weekly and Daily range

The trend guide was based on the Weekly lows @ 4468/70…

If above the initial move upwards was 42 points from yesterday’s lows @ 4501

4512-22 was seen as resistance as part of an ‘inside day’.

Any further gains tomorrow and it’s likely to move towards the Weekly 50% level @ 4542 and close Tuesday’s breakout gap.

If the S&P continues down overnight, and the SPI is below 4468/70, the trend bias is to move towards the daily lows and 4405







S&P (E-minis) 12th July 2011 Recap

There is a breakout on Monday therefore there's an expectation that the trend will continue down into Tuesday's lows

That means Tuesday could move down into the lows and swing back towards daily 50% level later in the day


S&P Weekly and Daily range


S&P moved down into Tuesday's lows and then rotated back towards the daily 50% level, which formed resistance.

The trend remains trading around higher timeframe 50% levels (Monthly and Weekly)...

However, the critical level in the S&P 500 for the current Quarter remains 1325, as per Weekly report.













SPI Daily 12th July 2011 recap

The view is that the market will try and close the gap, however it might struggle to rise higher than the Weekly 50% level @ 4542 and also Tuesday’s lows @ 4542.

If below 4507, then trend bias is down into the Weekly levels @ 4468/70



SPI Weekly and Daily range

At the start of the day my view was that it will try and retest the Weekly 50% level and Tuesday’s lows @ 4542, which would have been a resistance zone.

However, we also have a breakout of the daily lows, and also below the weekly 50% level, therefore there’s a trend bias to move down into the Weekly lows @ 4468/70, once the market failed to remain above 4507

And if the market can’t remain above the weekly lows, then the trend will continue down into the July lows.

Trend guide for the rest of the week is the Weekly lows @ 4468/70.

Note:- whilst below it could result in a break and extend pattern into next week's lows

SPI Primary and Monthly cycles

As noted a number of weeks ago, I still had the view that there was a potential lower low pattern in July after an initial up move towards the higher timeframe 50% levels in the last week of the 2nd Quarter.


These BUY zones align with the July lows and also the 3rd Quarterly levels around 4405.


These BUY zones need to be validated with lesser timeframe pattern for a swing back towards 4721 to 4804…

Because a failure to hold these support levels will see the SPI move down towards 4137.

A move down towards 4137 will depend a lot on how the S&P responds to being below 1325, and the 3rd Quarterly level.













S&P (E-minis) 11th July 2011 Recap

Weekly levels @ 1331.75 will define whether the markets continue upwards...

or reverse back towards the July 50% levels.

Daily level matches the Weekly level @ 1331.75


S&P Weekly and daily range

The S&P was either going to remain above the Weekly level @ 1331.75 and move up within the daily range...

or it was going to fail, resulting in a reversal pattern back towards the July 50% level, which has formed support @ 1313

As noted the Weekly report... a 5-day low breakout will help valid weakness in the S&P, as it is now below the Quarterly level @ 1325.

And whilst it remains below 1325-1331, the market looks to be moving into another long term sideways pattern during the 3rd Quarter







SPI Daily 11th July 2011 recap

This week's trend guide is based on the Weekly level @ 4607.

either the market moves down into the Weekly 50% level @ 4542, or it continues towards the Weekly highs and the July 50% level

Support 4575 (Monday’s lows
)

SPI Weekly and Daily range.

 
Monday opened below the weekly level @ 4607 and moved down into Monday's support levels @ 4575.

There was initial support for about 40 minutes, but then it failed.

Once the market began to consolidate below support levels, the trend bias was to push down towards the Weekly 50% level. @ 4542
