Negative Signal needs confirmation - GOLD

Feb'10 GOLD

Technically the MKT is in a BEAR TREND ACCELERATION and flirting with fresh losses with all trading below the 1171.4 Inflection Pivot.




The MKT has produced a big negative signal and any positive corrective action is expected to be short lived with only one upside "stop sweep" if the negative momentum is going to play out. Any held strength and repeated probe higher is a sign that the trade will turn digestive. This does not take away from the negative bias but does limit the profit potential for any new sales in the session.

On the SELL side accept FADE, REVERSAL and BREAKOUT strategies below the 1171.4 Inflection Pivot. BREAKOUT failures may need to be "worked" as the MKT is on edge and will be emotional, producing some starts and stops before it drops. FADE strategies are recommended over REVERSAL strategies as the MKT is expected to hold lower structure and any momentum shift should be considered a potential positive corrective turn.

On the BUY side avoid REVERSAL strategies off major support levels as these signals are more likely short squeeze rallies and opportunities to SELL into and FADE. BREAKOUT strategies above the 1171.4 Inflection Pivot are a long shot, so risk less and go for more. Any BUY FADE strategies off support should have confirmation and are not recommended if the integrity of the 1171.4 Inflection Pivot is intact. After a break in the negative structure is confirmed above 1171.4, major support levels can be used for short term reactions using aggressive position management.


Note: The MKT is on edge and is vulnerable to a big drop. If the 1171.4 Inflection Pivot has contained the buyers its just a matter of time before the sellers try to overwhelm the MKT. Look for excuses to get short. If the 1171.4 level is breached opportunity will be on both sides of the MKT, however the bias still rests with the Bears. 1088.6 is the lower target objective.


Good Trading.

BEAR TREND ACCELERATION Signal - CORN H'10

Technically the MKT is in a BEAR TREND ACCELERATION and flirting with the lower extreme. The MKT has produced a big negative signal and any positive corrective action is expected to be short lived with only one upside "stop sweep" if the negative momentum is going to play out. Any held strength and repeated probe higher is a sign that the trade will turn digestive. This does not take away from the negative bias but does limit the profit potential for any new sales in the session.

The 407-4 Inflection Pivot is the high point for any corrective rise.

On the SELL side accept FADE, REVERSAL and BREAKOUT strategies below the previous sessions high point. BREAKOUT may need to be "worked" as the MKT is on edge and will be emotional, producing some starts and stops before it drops. FADE strategies are recommended over REVERSAL strategies as the MKT is expected to hold lower structure and any momentum shift should be considered a potential positive corrective turn.

On the BUY side avoid REVERSAL strategies off major support levels as these signals are more likely short squeeze rallies and opportunities to SELL into and FADE. BREAKOUT strategies above the previous session high are a long shot, so risk less and go for more. Any BUY FADE should have confirmation and are not recommended if the integrity of the previous session high is intact. After a break in the negative structure confirmed support levels can be used for short term reactions using aggressive position management.

Note: The MKT is on edge and is vulnerable to a big drop. If the previous session high is intact its just a matter of time before the sellers try to overwhelm the MKT. Look for excuses to get short. If the previous session high is breached opportunity will be on both sides of the MKT, however the bias still rests with the Bears.

Good Trading.

CORRECTIVE SIGNAL STATE - SP500 Index

The Dec'09 SP500 Index posted a new move high lower close to put the contract back in a NEUTRAL CORRECTION technical posture. The MKT is in a bit of a vacuum pocket and is primed for some volatility. 1089 is the beginning of a support band that extends down to the 1084.50 Inflection Pivot. This is the low point for any lower squeeze if the underlying positive momentum is going to resume. Accept buy signals in this zone. A held failure from 1084.50 is a fresh negative signal which extends the pressure down to 1071. Here again buying is expected. Only under this support do I see the potential for a release with 1044 and 1026 targeted. 990 is the current extreme.

Use the 1098 Directional level as a sentiment guide for the session. A held trade above here has the Index playing cat and mouse up to 1107. If the CORRECTIVE trade is going to resume the MKT will reject here. If not the buyers will try to ramp things back up targeting new move highs up to 1120.50. 1132 and 1153.25 are the extended targets.

Price Map performance for Wednesday's post for Thursday DEC 3 2009.

Note how the MKT was not able to sustain a trade above the 1112.25 Inflection Pivot which ultimately provided the signal to the negative move. This is Strategy Based Trading at work. Our expectations are that the MKT should maintain a trade above the Inflection Pivot if the BULL TREND was going to resume. If not expectations are that the MKT will fall back into a DIGESTIVE trade lower. The MKT could not maintain a trade above 1112.25 and broke down as expected. Align your expectations with the current technical posture and use JS Services Inflection Pivots to capture opportunity.

BULL TREND DIGESTION - SP500 Index

The Dec'09 SP500 contract held its ground but could not extend off Tuesday's Acceleration signal dropping back into a BULL TREND DIGESTION technical state. Delayed reaction? Could be. Key off the 1112.25 Inflection Pivot of an indication of the session tone. If the MKT is good it will sustain a trade above here and not look back. The 1120.25 resistance pivot is the spoiler for any extended run today. Once cleared of this hurdle any new buying will have the potential to climb up to 1140.25 in the session. 1161 is the extended target.
*

- Trading below 1112.25 keeps the contract in a messy digestive trade down to 1104.25 and 1100. If the Index is going to maintain its composure it will stabilize above here. If not thing s can get a little slippery with 1084.50 and 1064 the low points for any new consolidation. 1039 is the extreme for any reversal of fortune in front of Friday's figure.


Be patient. If things don't get interesting quick the session could be another head banger.

BULL TREND ACCELERATION Signal - SP500

The Dec'09 SP500 contract is back on the bid and flirting with an accleration in the positive momentum producing a BULL TREND ACCELERATION signal. A MKT in this technical state has produced a big posiitve signal which should follow through today if valid.


Key off the 1102 Inflection Pivot. This is the price point that determines the session bias. Above here the BULL TREND ACCELERATION signal is in play and the MKT aggressively bid. A breach of the recent highs at 1112.25 confirms the signal putting the Index on course for the 1132.75 and 1153.25 resistance targets.

Trading below 1102 lets some air out of the excitement down to 1091.75. This is the low point for any weakness today if the contract is going to maintain its composure. A break under 1091.75 negates yesterday's positive signal putting the MKT back in a difficult digestive trade with 1067 and 1047.50 targeted for any sentiment shift.

STRATEGY BASED TRADING Review http://progressive.powerstream.net/008/00102/edu/interactive/js_services/strategy_based_trading/index.html

NEUTRAL TRANSITION - SP500 Index

The Dec'09 SP500 contract bounced back on its feet and is flirting with a positive turn in momentum. The MKT is in a NEUTRAL TRANSITION technical posture with a bias to the plus side with all trading above the 1083.50 Inflection Pivot. If the contract is going to rotate higher it will not spend much if any time below here. If so the Index shifts back into a weak neutral posture targeting the Holiday low area at 1068-1067.

A breach of 1098.25 is a sign of strength that gives the TRANSITIONAL outlook credibility putting the recent highs at 1112.25 in jeopardy targeting 1124 and 1130.25 on any new advance.
