Emini Support Resistance and Trade Levels 2008-04-01 00:19:35 If the minor support level at/around 1313-1316 can hold today, a rally to 1335-1337 could be likely. The market should see a small sell response the first time it gets here, however if this level is broken the 1348-1351 area should offer good resistance. If the minor support level does not hold a test of 1305 or even 1296 is possible. My pivot for today is the1319- 1323 area. Above the Read more: Support

Will Market Breakout of Consolidation Zone This Week? 2008-03-31 07:12:01 Last week the market attempted to breakout above the key level at 1350. This move failed and subsequently the market was unable to find any buyers at key support areas. A slew of negative news last week, added to the market’s decline. If the market continues lower this week it should find support at/near the 1293-1297 area (possibly as far down as 1289), the 1270-1275 area and the 1255-1260 area. Read more: Market

MARKET AWAITS UNEMPLOYMENT NUMBER 2008-04-04 06:35:32 Even with the small break of Wednesday’s low, yesterdays blog remains intact with the market consolidating again on Thursday. Today’s unemployment number should be the deciding factor on which way we will go today. A positive number could take us higher to test the resistance at/near the 1390 and 1400 levels while a negative number could take the market as far down as the 1340-1345 area. My
Market Consolidates Near the Highs 2008-04-03 06:45:52 The market traded in a narrow range yesterday and seemed to consolidate near the highs. This type of activity is typical of a market that may still move higher. If we were unable to find buyers at yesterdays high today and in turn sell through yesterdays low the upside potential would be greatly diminished. However, as long as we can stay above the 1345-1350 area the market could remain positive. Read more: Market
HUGE RALLY IN MARKET YESTERDAY 2008-04-02 07:13:27 Buying yesterday was non-stop from the open and was done on heavy volume. The market finally saw some sellers enter very late in the day at/near 1370. This area could see more selling the next time we get here, but I would look more towards the 1390 and 1400 areas for stronger resistance. Yesterday’s rally was nice, however we still need to break out of this trading range, which would mean a
Still Looking For A Breakout From Consolidation 2008-04-07 22:27:33 Action today was very similar to that of Friday’s and the market has consolidated for its fourth straight day with just a small probe up to the resistance at/near 1390. The last 2-3 blogs information is still intact so I’m not going to rewrite it but instead have you reread them however, after seeing today’s test of the 1390 area and the market’s reaction afterwards, this supply level maybe more Read more: Breakout

Three-Day Consolidation Near The Highs 2008-04-06 21:58:58 Last week the market formed a three-day consolidation pattern up near its highs, trading around the 1385 area for the high and the 1357 area for the low. I’ll be looking for a break of one of these levels this week. We’ve got a pretty weak week ahead of us, speaking in terms of economic data, with the big standout being the FOMC minutes release on Tuesday.

There are several good blocks of supply between 1400 and 1425, this area represents the upper end of the trading range and is likely to contain an advance. If earnings miss and we selloff look for yesterday’s low (1353-1358) for support.

Market Trades in Narrow Range Monday 2008-04-29 06:56:23 On Monday
, when the market was trading near its highs, there was no sign of strong buying interest and the volume associated with the break out was low. Basically, trading was flat at the highs and we had some trouble moving higher throughout the day. This doesn’t count out a move higher but does make the high (1403-1405) a small resistance level. We sold off late in the day and closed neutral. Read more: Market
