Sept 7th, 2010: Update 1 – Pre-Market
Posted by pugsma on September 7, 2010
5:50 am EST: Welcome back from the long Labor Day Holiday Weekend. The big money boys are back from the Hampton’s and ready to trade this week. I expect the volume to pick-up and volatility with it.
ES has traded down to 1095.25 (1096.25 cash) for a 12 point drop from the 1107.,25 (1106.25 cash) peak overnight. Dr Copper bottomed on Aug 25th, 4 trading days before the SP-500 turned higher on Sept 1st. Dr Copper loves to lead, particularly at bottoms. Dr Copper may have put in a near term top at 3.53 on Friday Sept 3rd, which would lead the SP-500 lower. The support for Copper is at 3.43 and then 3.35. Similar support for the SP-500 is at ES 1087 (1088) and ES 1076 (1077). There are fib retracement targets of 1090 (23%) and 1081 (38%) for this wave iv-(1) target. Up higher there is strong resistance at ES 1106 (1107) and then at ES 1114 (1115).
Recall form my EOD update on Friday, I was expecting a wave iv-(1) pull-back to at least 1090 (23%) to fill the 1090 to 1094 gap early this week. Then I think the SP-500 will push up toward 1115 in a wave v-(1) to complete this move up off 1040. However, if things to start to break down below 1090, then the SP-500 will need to hold support near 1077 to 1081 or else wave (2) down may have already begun.
