Hot Shot for Friday

Good Morning.

Volume is building lower and lower off reports - unemployment was higher than expected, home sales lower than expected. It is going to be a while until the economy finds sure footing. I feel more comfortable selling the low volume rallies today.

Good Morning.

The trend continues to move downward and volume continues to build lower (including a rise in open interest of 35,000 contracts) all signaling the trend will continue. Trade with a short bias. Sell rallies against resistance.

For Wednesday

Still no change in the bond numbers, but the ES is drifting higher despite my warnings of a sell off.

We are most likely range bound before the Unemployment Number tomorrow - the number is bound to reflect higher unemployment numbers than expected which should have a bearish effect. But follow the volume - if there are no more buyers at resistance sell it and collect back at the pivot.

For Tuesday

Good Morning.



Very little change in the numbers - an early morning break in the eMini S&P has created a gap at 1274 area so we are bound to fill in that gap. I am sticking with a short bias. Sell rallies against resistance.

For Friday

The eMini S&P had 86K contracts open to the short side in Thursday’s session – Traders who hold their positions for an extended period of time are speculating the market to continue its downward trend. Consumer Sentiment and higher fuel prices will exacerbate the situation. Sell the rallies against resistance.
