R.B.I. Trader's Update

3 / 18 / 2010

(Published Since 1996)

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


Dateline: 7:09 pm eastern time, 3/18/2010


The ES bounced to 1163.25 and that was rejected 30 minutes
into the day. We had resistance at the 1162.00-1163.00 zone
and it set up a good short. The ES fell to 1158.75 before a
bounce. That failed at 1162.25 resistance, and then the ES
fell pretty fast to 1156.25. That was just 2 ticks over the
1155.75-1155.00 support zone, and then the ES ended up
making a 1-2-3 bottom that led to a bounce back up to
1161.50. That area was sold again, and a drop to 1158.25
followed. With an hour left in stock trading the market
turned up and the ES rallied back to 1162.00 at the close.

Both the ES and NQ bounced back to the areas from where the
Wednesday afternoon breakdown kicked into gear. With the
upside thinning out, and now the futures potentially making
a lower high at a resistance zone, it could set up a bigger
picture 1-2-3 type of top. The angle of this up move, along
with poor underlying technicals, is a setup that could lead
to a sizable move lower.

We don't have any economic data coming out on Friday. So, if
there is early strength it would be a gift for an entry on
the short side. If the first drop doesn't hold over the
initial support areas, then a test/break of the 1158.50-
1158.00 area on the ES would need to hold, otherwise the
downside could gather some steam.

NOTE: On Friday there will be no intraday updates after
12:15 pm eastern time.
