Guesstimates on December 4, 8:20 am ET

Spiders - December S&P E-mini Futures: I want to be a buyer of the e-minis today at 1463 using a 25 point stop. Last week’s 1406 low ended the decline from the October 11 top at 1587. I think a 30-50 point break has begun from Friday’s high at 1492. We are in the early stages of a move which will carry above the 1600 level.

QQQQ: The Q’s are headed for 56.00. Support is 48.85.

TLT - March Bonds: The bonds have resistance at 118-12 and I think that a drop of 7-10 points is underway. Next downside target is 115-16. TLT has strong resistance at 94-95 and I think a 7-10 point drop is imminent.

March 10 Year Notes: Resistance is now at 114-12. I think the notes have started a drop of about 5 points. Next downside target is 111-28.

Euro-US Dollar: I think the euro is establishing a long-lasting top. The short term trend is still upward and will reverse only if support at 146.50 is broken decisively.

Dollar-Yen: I think the yest is headed upward in a multi-month move. Initial upside target is 117.00.

XLE - OIH - USO – January Crude: I think a lot of sellers are coming into this market and that crude has begun a substantial drop. The market has nearly reached support at 87.00 but the bounce from there is likely to be only 4 or 5 dollars. I expect to see crude trade near 74.00 before a multi-week rally can start. USO should drop to 56, OIH to 160 and XLE to 60.

GLD - February Gold: I still think gold futures still have a shot at the 873 level but a drop below support at 780 will mean that an extended decline has started.

SLV - March Silver: I think is now is likely that the 1644 high in March silver will hold and that an extended decline has begun. Support is at 1420.

Google: GOOG has support is at 670. I think the next step up will carry the market to 730.

Good luck with buying Carl!

I am 100% long in BIDU, FSLR and RIMM (call options jan 2009).

I am a contrarian who remains bullish on the NASDAQ, $, Asia (not Japan).
BEN is on our side!
I remain short in some selective financials though! I really enjoy reading your blog.

Carl, have been reading this blog for a while for a general gauge of retail sentiment... Has there ever been a time when you have NOT been bullish American risky assets and/or USD?

bizarre island reversal on the SPDR 30 minute chart so far.

gaps on both sides of the 11/30-12/3 island

not sure yet what this means technically
