R.B.I. Trader's Update

2 / 11 / 2010

Dateline: 6:49 pm eastern time, 2/11/2010

The ES opened lower on Thursday and after a tiny pop the ES
dropped from 1064.25 down to 1057.50 in the first 20 minutes
of trading. The market reversed course and rallied back to
just over the 1066.25 resistance area before pulling back.
The ES reversed back up from updated support and then ran up
to the 1077.00-1078.00 zone. After reversing from 1077.75 on
the first attempt, the ES dropped 4 points to 1073.75 and
bounced back. The bounce then went to 1078.00 and quickly
reversed, and then it was chop between 1077.25 and 1073.50
going into the close.

The market is one decent up day from a potential trading top
by the look of things, and we could see the ES go for the
1081.50-1082.00 area (or higher if not rejected early)
before a decent pullback occurs. If that plays out, then a
decent sized pullback of 8-10 ES points would be likely if
the volatility is going to continue.

We get Retail Sales before the open on Friday. As long as
the initial support areas are held, the trends will remain
pointing higher. So, if there is early weakness it should
set up a good trade on the long side when it reverses. If
the ES doesn't show any sign of turning from the 1081.50-
1082.00 zone then we are likely headed back to a good
resistance zone up around the 1085.50-1086.25 area on the
ES. If that zone is reached, then beware of a reversal as
that is about as far as a rally should go unless the market
is super strong and headed back towards the 1090's.
