Guesstimates on December 19, 2008

Spiders - March S&P  E-mini Futures:  The market broke below its 885-920 trading range on fairly high volume yesterday and this makes a move down to 835 or so the next likely development.  If this prognosis is correct we shall not see the e-minis trade above 900 today. In any case I think the 1000 level will be reached next month.

QQQ: The Q’s are headed for 34.

TLT - March Bonds: The market has broken well past 135 resistance and will now probably make it to 145 before any substantial break begins.   

March 10 Year Notes: The 128 resistance will probably be broken and the notes should reach 130 before the market turns lower.   

Euro-US Dollar: The euro has dropped below 140 this morning but should find suppor near 138.00.  I think we shall see a move up to 152.00 or so before the bear market resumes.

Dollar-Yen: I think the 87.50 level will hold and that a rally to 100.00 is imminent.  

XLE - OIH - USO – February Crude: The 40.00 level should be support in the February contract. I still think a rally into the 55-60 zone will be the next development.

GLD - February Gold: The 885 level should prove to be resistance and the market should soon resume its move down into the 550-600 range.  

SLV - March Silver: I still think this is a bear market.  Next resistance above the market is at 1165. Next downside target is 650.

Google: Google has reached the 250-60 target zone which should be the end of its drop from 747.

Why do you think the 1000 level should be reached next month?

looks like we may get a reaction to the downside on bonds . im longer term bullish bonds yet this
might be a decent short trade over the next few days or weeks .

I still believe that the easy tade currently would be to fade the 900 level but I am still looking for 930
first.

Hi Carl,

I just went long at 894.00. I may be sorry, but that's the trade for the day.

Thanks.

Kindest regards,

PM

Do you keep your e-mini trading record on this blog up to date on a daily basis? Very nice risk managment I see, 144 trades, 59 profits (41%), yet good net profits! Can you clarify how you determine the 70% gain on the $15K account?

Good morning Mr. F.
If this market should reach 1,000.
It will likely do so before the end of the year...IMV...
Then after chopping around a few weeks, head down again...
Happy trading!
