The early game plan for Tuesday was to short early strength
that reversed, then exit and get long when the first decent
pullback reversed. The market popped up on the open on
Tuesday and the strength was sold as the ES dropped 7 points
from 793.25 to 786.50 before turning back up. With the first
decent pullback being a buying opportunity, the ES ground
its way to 796.50 by noon. A drop from that high held at
791.50 and another leg higher was in gear. The ES reached
807.00 before pulling back, but buyers stepped to the plate
at the 801.00 level and there was a bounce back to 804.75. A
1-2-3 top was triggered and the ES plunged to 789.50 in the
final minutes of futures trading.

There was End-of-Quarter window breaking instead of window
dressing on Tuesday, as the last 30 minutes saw the market
drop pretty hard. The bounces will set up good shorting
opportunities on Wednesday. A drop back towards the 783.25-
782.50 area on the ES should be in the cards at least, by
the looks of things. If the market cannot hold that area,
then it could mean a trip down towards the 771.00-769.50
area on the ES before a decent low is put in. If the market
gets down there and still cannot turn around, then the 730
area is likely this month.

On Wednesday look for shorting opportunities when the
bounces fizzle and begin to roll over. If the market gaps
down and reaches the 783.25-782.50 area on the ES and
reverses, that could set up a trade on the long side. It
would be best if that was reached in the first 40 minutes of
trading for that setup. However, don't fall in love with the
long right now as the moves are not sticking and 771.00-
769.50 could be a magnet.
