R.B.I. Trader's Update

3 / 4 / 2010

(Published Since 1996)

...............................................

Dateline: 8:26 pm eastern time, 3/4/2010

The early strength was sold about 30 minutes into trading on
Thursday, and from 1123.00 the ES dropped 7.50 points to the
1115.50-1115.25 key support. That first decent pullback held
and reversed off of that 1115.50-1115.25 zone and rallied to
1120.00 resistance. Then the ES went sideways in a 2.25
point range for more than an hour, which set up a couple of
scalp shorts from the 1120.00-1120.50 resistance. The 4th
drop took the ES to 1117.75 and quickly reversed. The bounce
failed 1 tick over the 1120.50 resistance, but the pullback
was just 1.75 points before heading back up in the last 45
minutes of trading.

We get the Employment data before the open on Friday, and it
should lead to a big volatile day. The market is currently
range-bound, and is close to the top of that range at
Thursday's close. It is at 1125 on top and 1115 on bottom,
and after churning in that range for three days, that 1115
bottom side needs to hold or else the downside could gather
some steam.

On Friday, if there is early strength, look for a reversal
to occur in the first 30 minutes of trading. if the market
opens lower, then the initial support needs to hold to avoid
rolling over. If the market gets hit with selling, then a
reversal from the 1115.50-1115.25 would need to occur,
otherwise the week ends on a bad note.
