Since we start a new month, I thought a monthly chart of SP 500 would be appropriate for longer term view.
My overall stance is leaning towards the bear camp.
I think that 1000-1017 are is very important support and if we break below it can accelerate selling towards 941 level very fast. On the other hand as long as that support holds the market will trade in a wide range between the 1000 level and 1115 area.
SP – Standard & Poor’s 500-Pit (S&P 500), Monthly COntinuation
We have a full day of reports tomorrow, including FOMC MINUTES. that should be a recipe for a much different trading day than we had today.
I would categorize today’s session, as lower volume, lower volatility but yet wide enough ranges on the stock indices to produce different set ups to go with the reversal trend. If I had to guess for tomorrow session, I would guess higher volatility with swings in both direction. Knowing what type of trading day you are in early enough or the type of personality the market is having on any certain trading day is HUGE in my opinion as different types of trading days require different approaches/ methods and trading style.
We bounced pretty good from major support early this morning. Some levels to pay attention to as we start a new week in the mini Dow chart below. Until then, relax, clear your head from trading, “what you could have done and should have done” etc…..write a journal if needed, learn from mistakes when you can but don’t let negative energy hurt your trading.
Have a great weekend!
YM – E-Mini Dow Futures – $5 Multiplier, Equalized Active Daily Continuation
Market is showing weakening signs. We need to hold previous lows of 1037 and rally in order to gain any upside momentum. Break of this level can bring 1000.75 much quicker.
I have a feeling traders will have potential for trades on both sides depending on volatility and pre market GDP report tomorrow.
A chart of the SP 500 CASH INDEX for your review below:
SPC5 – Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (S&P 500), Daily
Daily chart of the mini Russell, which I consider the leader, for review below. Looks like we may get a test of previous lows and if and then the big question.. do we bounce or do we start a new leg lower:
Well the big question for this point in time is here.. we met the initial target of 1049 and from a technical point of view we are looking at some wide bands. 1049 being pivot line, 1080 being resistance and 1000.75 being major support.
Today I am sharing daily chart of the mini SP 500 for review:

Somewhat of a quiet day on the futures exchange to start the week after some volatile sessions last week. As I’ve said many times before, if a trader can recognize early enough during the trading session, what type of trading day is about to unfold, then one can use the proper day-trading technique more suitable for that day.
Some examples may include: join the trend on trending day, mean aversion techniques on choppy days and much more.
On a different note, I got a blue diamond for tomorrow’s session which can mean potential up day if the market can break above 1083.00 or….continued decline if it fails to gain some upside momentum. Daily chart for review below:
