R.B.I. Trader's Update

3 / 14 / 2010

(Published Since 1996)

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

Dateline: 5:26 pm eastern time, 3/14/2010

The market gapped up on Friday and the ES reversed from
1150.25 (1149.50-1151.00 zone was key resistance) and
dropped 8.25 points to 1142.00 (the 1142.50-1142.00 zone was
key support) about 40 minutes into the trading day. After
turning up from 1142.00, new resistance was given at the
1146.00-1146.50 area. In a narrow range we had a pullback
from 1146.50 to 1143.00, and after a bounce back to 1146.50
there was another pullback to 1142.50. With that area
turning into strong support, the ES turned back up with 30
minutes left and rallied back to 1147.00 by the close.

The market has been able to bounce back after every selloff
for 2 weeks now. On Friday, the SP500 cash and futures
gapped up into new high territory for the year and instantly
turned down. The resistance at the 1154 area on the SP500
cash was rejected. Still, the key support at the 1142.50-
1142.00 area refused to break in the morning, and also at
the end of the day. The trend doesn't break unless the ES
breaks that 1142.50-1142.00 area and then cannot get back
over 1145.00 on a bounce.

On Monday look for early strength to set up a shorting
opportunity as soon as the move stalls/ reverses. That
should occur within the first 40 minutes of trading at the
latest. If that plays out, the 1142.50-1142.00 area will
hold and set up a buying opportunity if the market is still
strong. If that is broken, and a bounce cannot get back over
1145, then the market could gather downside momentum.
