R.B.I. Trader's Update

3 / 10 / 2010

Dateline: 6:38 pm eastern time, 3/10/2010

The market opened unchanged on Wednesday and then the ES
rallied to the 1147.00-1148.00 resistance zone before noon.
A 1-2-3 top formed off of the 1148.00 high, and the ES
dropped to 1138.25 before turning again. A test of the
1147.50 level was sold, then a pullback to 1141.50 occurred.
With 30 minutes left in stock trading the market bounced
back a bit into the close.

First off, the new front month for our futures contracts
rolls over to June on Thursday. M is the symbol for June
futures.

The market remains overbought readings not seen in a decade
by a few measures. So far it has led only to back and forth
action. On Wednesday the ES tested the January globex high
of 1148 and was rejected twice. That is at the 1142.75-
1143.25 area on the June futures. A move over that zone
must stick, instead of reverse like on Wednesday, to get a
move towards the 1154 area on the SP500 cash in gear. The
upside has not been able to stick, so if the market has
enough juice to get over the 1143 area on the ES, then a
reversal from near that 1154 level on the SP500 cash (around
1149-1150 on the ES) should set up a very good shorting
opportunity.

We had the same pattern on Tuesday and Wednesday, with early
rallies that fail. On Thursday, look for a shorting
opportunity if there is early strength and the move is
reversed from near the initial resistance zones. If that
plays out, a drop to the initial support areas needs to be
defended. If the market loses its underlying bid, and the NQ
breaks/ holds under its 1911 area, then pressure should be
on short term.
