R.B.I. Trader's Update

4 / 14 / 2009

(Published Since 1996)

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

Dateline: 6:54 pm eastern time, 4/14/2009

The market opened down on Tuesday, but the reversal came on
time. The ES reached 840.50 and reversed in the first 20
minutes of trading, and then rallied to the Monday closing
range. The ES reached 853.25, and then the move stalled out
before rolling over. The ES worked its way back down to
836.25 shortly after noon, but a bounce reversed the 840
level and the ES tested its low. The test passed, and the ES
bounce to the updated 842.50 resistance level and then
backed off 4 points. Buyers stepped in and took the ES to
845.00 before the selling came back and the ES dropped to
837.00 and then bounced into settlement.

The daily indicators worked off some of the overbought
status on Tuesday. The drop didn't generate much fear,
however, as the Vix actually dropped on a pretty hard down
day or stocks. The market looked like it topped on Monday,
and
the averages closed under the Monday lows on Tuesday, so a
topping pattern is in place. The upside still looks limited,
with the market going into a trading range being best case
scenario for the short term.

It's earnings season and the futures are trading lower as
this is typed. On Wednesday, look for similar action that
occurred early Tuesday to play out. If the market opens
lower,
and can reverse in the first 20-30 minutes, it could bring a
decent bounce. If that plays out, beware that the first
decent bounce will set up a shorting opportunity, and
probably with better potential than the rally attempt.
