The September S&P 500 E-Mini contract has fired 90-10 Low Continuation & Reversal 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 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 top has just been marked, and the larger trend is to lower prices. Odds favor continued downside in today's early trading. Sell the break of yesterday's 1317.50 low, or even earlier if price demonstrates weakness below the 1329.75 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 1300.50 or the Extended Low Range Projection level of 1286.75 would be likely areas for such a reversal to take place, as would a test and failure of yesterday's low. The Momentum Pinball Buy signal tells us we can consider the long side even sooner if the first hour's high happens to be broken to the upside. NOTE: September Dow Jones, Nasdaq 100, and Russell 2000 e-mini contracts have all fired either the same or very similar signals as the ES. This means that they can all be traded in very similar fashion.

The September S&P; E-Mini S&P; contract has fired Wide Range Downside Reversal, 90-10 Low Continuation, and Momentum Pinball Buy signals for today's trading. The Wide Range Downside Reversal signal tells us that yesterday's trading likely marked a significant short term turning point with more downside to follow. The 90-10 Low Continuation signal suggests that yesterday's late day move lower is likely to continue on into today. The Momentum Pinball Buy signal tells us that we'd want to consider longs if price is strong enough to break the first hour high. Cycle Indicators (chart at right) have moved into a region where short term cyclical tops often form, and the larger trend is to lower prices. Odds favor further downside in early morning trade. Sell the break of yesterday's 1299.75 low with a stop just above the 1314.00 level of the Daily Pivot. Price weakness below the DP may provide clues for earlier entry. NOTE: September Dow Jones, Nasdaq 100, and Russell 2000 e-mini contracts have all fired either the same or very similar signals as the ES.

The September S&P; E-Mini S&P; contract (today is rollover from June to September) has fired 90-10 High Continuation & Reversal and Momentum Pinball Sell signals for today's trading. The 90-10 High Continuation & Reversal signal is telling us to look for morning follow through on the strong close, but to expect a likely reversal once the initial move has topped.

The August Lean Hogs contract has fired 90-10 High Continuation and Momentum Pinball Sell signals for today's trading. The 90-10 High Continuation signal is fired when the day's trading closes within the top 10% of the day's range. It tells us that yesterday'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 recently been marked, but the larger trend is to lower prices. Odds favor further upside in early morning trade. Buy the break of yesterday's 88.325 high with a stop just below the 88.300 level of the Daily Pivot. Price strength above the Daily Pivot 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.
