The December S&P E-Mini contract has fired 90-10 Low Continuation & Reversal, High Breakout Continuation Setup, and Momentum Pinball Buy signals for today's trading. The 90-10 Low Continuation & Reversal signal tells us to look for morning follow through on the weak close, but to expect a likely reversal once the initial move has bottomed. The High Breakout Continuation Setup signal implies significant upside IF Friday's high happens to be taken out. The Momentum Pinball Buy signal suggests that we'd want to consider longs if price is strong enough to break the first hour high. Cycle Indicators (chart at right) appear as if a short term cyclical high has just been marked. Odds favor continued downside in today's early trading. Sell the break of Friday's 1423.50 low, or even earlier if price demonstrates weakness below the 1433.75 level of the Daily Pivot. But stand prepared to exit or even reverse if we get appropriate price reversal patterns and/or Oscillator Divergence near important support levels. Our Normal Low Range Projection level 1409.00 or the Extended Low Range Projection level of 1450.50 would be likely areas for such a reversal to take place, as would a test and failure of Friday's low. The Momentum Pinball Buy signal, on the other hand, suggests we consider the long side if the first hour's high happens to be broken to the upside.

The December S&P 500 E-Mini contract has fired Wide Range Upside Reversal, 90-10 High Continuation, and Momentum Pinball Sell signals for today's trading. The Wide Range Upside Reversal signal tells us that yesterday's action likely marked a significant intermediate term turning point with more upside to follow. The 90-10 High Continuation signal tells us that the day's late day move higher is likely to continue on into today. The Momentum Pinball Sell signal suggests that IF the first hour's low happens to be broken, the market is telling us something completely different than originally assessed, and we'd want to consider a short position. Cycle Indicators (chart at right) appear as if a short term cyclical low has just been marked, and the larger trend is to higher prices. Odds favor further upside in today's early trading. Buy the break of yesterday's 1436.50 high with a stop just under the 1429.50 level of today's Daily Pivot. Price strength above the DP may provide clues for earlier entry. The Momentum Pinball Sell signal, on the other hand, suggests we consider the short side if the first hour's low happens to be broken to the downside.

Yesterday's High Potential Setup in the S&P 500 E-mini contract resulted in a sharp and very profitable move to lower prices (the original post issued last night appears below). Pattern Signals fired for today's trading imply the likelihood for even further downside with a potential for reversal. The December contract has fired a 90-10 Low Continuation & Reversal signal for today's trading. The 90-10 Low Continuation & Reversal signal tells us to look for morning follow through on the weak close, but to expect a likely reversal once the initial move has bottomed. Cycle Indicators (chart at right) appear as if a short term cyclical top has recently been marked, but both are now moving into a region where short term cyclical lows often occur. Odds favor continued downside in today's early trading. Sell the break of yesterday's 1425.00 low, or even earlier if price demonstrates weakness below the 1429.75 level of the Daily Pivot. But stand prepared to exit or even reverse if we get appropriate price reversal patterns and/or Oscillator Divergence near important support levels. Our Normal Low Range Projection level of 1420.00 or the Extended Low Range Projection level of 1415.00 would be likely areas for such a reversal to take place, as would a test and failure of yesterday's low.

The December S&P 500 E-Mini contract has fired Low Range Close and Momentum Pinball Buy signals for today's trading. The Low Range Close signal fires when the close is within the bottom 20% of the day's range, and implies that yesterday's late day weakness should carry on through to this morning's trading. The Momentum Pinball Buy signal tells us that if price can demonstrate enough strength to break the first hour high, there might be enough force behind the move to trend even higher. Cycle Indicators (chart at right) have moved into a region where short term cyclical lows often form, and the larger trend is to higher prices. Odds favor continued downside in today's early trading. Sell the break of yesterday's 1435.00 low with a stop just above the 1443.00 Daily Pivot. Price action relative to the Daily Pivot level may provide clues for earlier entry. The Momentum Pinball Buy signal tells us to change our bias to the upside on a break of the first hour high.
