The Globex session has pushed back up to 1163.70
during the overnight session but retraced a bit
and has moved sideways for the past 4 hours. A
retracement lower below 1157 - 1158 will likely
continue lower to 1154 - 1155 which is a critical
point in the market, as is 1150 - 1151.
A move below 1150 will likely see continuation lower
and perhaps a fast move down. We believe that we will
have a substantial selloff, that it is premature
for this to occur based on our cycle studies and
pattern matching. Consequently, we expect higher
prices today. Price can bounce and move to higher
prices at any of the above bands though the 1157 -
1158 level is the most likely launch level.

The Globex session has moved sideways with price forming a double top
at 1157.70 and pushed down to the bottom of that range. We were
wanting to short the 1158 level but this may not occur. We will short
a breakout below 1150.50 or a return to the 1158.00 level if the
setup remains low risk. A move below 1153.10 invalidates the
trendline up from the 939 September lows and we could have additional
fast movement lower.

Price action retraced back up as we expected.
Expect price to push up to 1167.70 - 1168.30 or
1170.30 - 1170.70 and reverse back down. The
1168.30 level will likely reverse price but no
longs should be taken until price moves above the
1170.70 level however. Our target to the downside
is 1150.50 - 1152.50.
E-Mini Traders: As we mentioned in yesterday's Update,
we will begin trading our LT Trades today. These are longer
term trades that last about an hour in today's environment
and if successful are good for $350 - $400 per contract
on the e-Mini. Stops will typically be 1.00 to 1.50 points.

The overnight Globex session was subdued with a
small range. Price pushed up to the lower edge of
our overhead resistance at 1170.30 and reversed
but still stayed above yesterday's 1164.10 lows.
A move below 1166.00 will likely have continuation.
Additionally, we have several bands of support just
below price seperated by but 2 to 3 points and a
reversal at any of these levels is possible. There
is also the real possibility of a larger consolidation
being formed between 1164.00 and 1178.50 which would
indicate a larger, early move up.
We will stand aside in the early going
this morning as the testing at yesterday's lows
may get very noisy. The Factory Orders Report

The Globex session has pushed up to new highs at
1176.70 after bouncing off of support at 1170.20.
Given this setup, expect new highs or at least a
double top with Friday's highs at 1178.30. A push
above 1180.60 will likely see a move up to the
1184 area where price may reverse as the 200
period moving average is located there. We will
buy just above 1180.60 for a quick trade up to
the 1184 area.
Given the overbought nature of our internals and
price, we may not make significant new highs today.
If price wants to push higher, we may have a
consolidation form initially or just after the 1184
level is achieved.

Price action during the overnight session cycled,
making a low at 1165.30. We had a large number of
reports being released at 7:30 AM Central this
morning with price spiking up to our resistance
zone at 1171.00. Typically, price will usually
reach the top of these spikes at a minimum. We
are however above yesterday's 1168.00 high and a
move below this level may set up a reversal day.
Given the condition of the end-of-day indicators,
this becomes a real possibility. If the larger
interests want to push price higher however, that
is what will occur as they have total control of
this market. We will wait for a setup. A move
above 1151.50 should carry to 1174.50 - 1176.40.

The Globex session has pushed up above
yesterday's highs giving us a likely gap up from
yesterday's highs. This sets up either a
breakaway gap higher with higher prices coming, or
a reversal day that will trend lower today. Given
the nature of the internals and the overbought
nature of price, we are expecting a reversal day.
Given the light trading volume due to the
holidays, we may have some problems with
follow-through. A move below 1159.00 can likely be
shorted though we will decide this when price
reaches that level. We have numerous reports out
at 9:00 AM Central and will want to avoid trading
directly in front of these reports. Price may
move as high as 1167.50 before reversing. A move
above this level and a reversal day becomes less
likely or may occur later in the day after higher
objectives are reached.

The Globex session pushed down from Monday's
1149.20 highs to a low of 1142.50 and bounced. A
push above 1148.00 and new highs above 1149.50
will set up targets at 1151.00 - 1151.70 and
1153.30 - 1153.80. A move into this area however,
may trap price in the area between 1149.50 and
1146.50 where price may consolidate.
This has been a consolidation level for some time
and when price moves away from this level, it will
likely trend for a substantial period though this may
not occur today. A push above 1147.00 means that
price will likely move into this consolidation
zone. Failure to push into this zone and a move
below 1145.00 will likely see continuation lower.
A push lower will move down to 1138.40 - 1139.70

reaction occurs unless we double bottom at
1142.50. We may stand aside in the early going.

The Globex session pushed a bit lower after
yesterday's close to test the bottom of our make-

from this level to test Friday's Fib resistance
level at 1148.50. Price fell rapidly into the
7:30AM reports releases and bounced strongly on
their release to exceed the previous overnight
high.
Our target for this push up which may also
be near our opening this morning is 1150.80 -
1151.40. Price could push up to 1153.80 - 1154.50
and a push above this level would see 1158.50. A
short setup at the 1150.80 - 1151.40 level is a
likely low risk entry. Failure here and a

The Initial Jobless Claims Report was released
this morning at 7:30 AM Central and sent the
market down quickly. The Nasdaq moved to
substantial new lows and has bounced little while
the S&P pushed down to only .618 retracement
level of the early push lower after yesterday
morning's fast runup. We are dealing with two
very different markets and this will make trading
a bit different, especially for the S&P unless we
see a strong rally in the Nasdaq which will mean
traders will likely be rotating out of Dow
stocks.
We have several levels of resistance
above yesterday's highs which will give fussy
back and forth price action unless they decide to
have a fast runup which is doubtful. This level
is best avoided until price pushes above 1158.00
where a clean run up to 1162.50 - 1163.50 will
likely occur. This level will likely reverse
price as well. We are hoping for a fast move up

bounce before 1134.00. Bounces could carry up to
1140.00. Movement above 1140.00 and we will
likely set up a reversal day to the upside. On a

The overnight session has pushed up to just below
our resistance band at 1143.10 - 1145.60 in a
move higher marked by little retracement. We will
likely have a gap open to the upside this morning
which means a push below the 1139.00 level may
set up a reversal day.
If this does not happen, we will likely have a
breakaway gap with price pushing higher which means
a push above our 1143.10 - 1145.60 resistance band.
(This resistance band may extend up to 1147.00 based
on intraday action but this is not certain.) So a
breakout of the 1139.00 to the bottom or a push
above 1143.10 will likely give us our earlt

We mentioned in last night's Update that we were
expecting a return to yesterday's lows. This will
leave a substantial opening gap that will likely
be filled by the close unless we have new lows
this morning. Most of our projections suggest a
target of either 1125.00 or 1121.50 - 1122.50 as
a target for a low. The area at 1125.00 is a very
heavy support area and broaching this level would
likely change price characteristics and could
likely lead to a fast move lower. The commercials
have a vested interest in pushing price lower due
to triple witching next Friday and this is their
chance to really run option holders out of their
calls. We could very well revisit the lows and
bounce back to yesterday's highs which is the
most likely setup for the day. Expect a bounce
into 9:00 Central which we will try to catch if
the setup is low risk.

Continuation below 1136.00 will likely see our

band at 1152.40 - 1153.80, making a triple top

A retracement after the open to under 1148.00 sets
up a reversal day for us, with a majority of
yesterday's price action being retraced. If this
sets up, we will short at 1148 but we must be
nimble here as price will occasionally spike into
the previous day's low and reverse back up.
We doubt a reversal will occur because of the
breakout setup and seasonal tendencies. If price
does not reverse into yesterday's range, we will
have a breakaway gap which is very bullish and we
will have the beginnings of a large third wave up
