Here is a 30 minute bar chart showing day session e-mini trading for the past two weeks.I think the market is in the process of building a short term top near 1253 resistance defined by the March 2008 low. The next development in this topping process should be a break of 15-20 points down to 1240 or so. Such a drop would match the size of the last reaction (blue rectangle). It would also put the market at support defined by the last minor top (red dash line) and the lower trend channel line (green dash line).
I expect this topping process to be completed early in January. It should be followed by a break of 50-75 points. In a bull market reactions typically end at or a little below the 50 day moving average. In the cash S&P 500 this moving average currently stands at 1209, equivalent to 1205 in the futures.
After this 50-75 point drop is complete the market should resume its rally to 1300 and higher.
Carl, I hope you are right since it would present a good buying opportunity.
ReplyDeleteI thought the next move would be down up until tomorrow. But right now the market is too resilient. It's unfazed by the interest rate hike in China and it staying strong in the midst of bad news. Europe and Asia are already down for the week but the S&P 500 doesn't budge. Because of this I changed my mind and now believe the next 15 to 20 point move will be to the upside.
Thanks for the analysis. I really like them.
Carl,
ReplyDeleteYou've had your oil target of $50.00 for quite a while.
We are at 90 dollar oil.
Where's your stop?
