We managed to reach former highs last week, but could not sustain the momentum to stay above that level. We do have some solid levels in the upcoming week which will give good indication of where this market is going if those levels are moved through.

On the upside we have resistance from 1100-1105. We have seen multiple failures in this region. Obviously we need to get through this area if the market is going to head higher. A break above 1107 would indicate strength and that we are heading for another swing higher. The target for the move is 1118 followed by 1130 if the former level is exceeded.

We have support at 1085. A sustained break below that indicates a move to test 1072. This is the profit target based off the last swing high-swing low, substracted from the low. This is also where the gap up on Monday occured. If that level holds expect a move back higher, but if that gap is filled and we hit 1070 it is a bearish sign and prices overall are likely to head south. Support is likely at 1065 and then 1060. Breaks of those indicates a further move to 1052.

While the market did try to push lower, it did not get below the 1029 level (which as mentioned in last weeks post) would have indicated a strong bearish bias if the level was broken. That level was brushed by the market but quickly retraced higher. We have moved up and closed right at the resistance level of 1070-1073. This is a pivotal level. If we can move above and hold above it for a day, this would indicate another swing higher.

On a move higher, resistance/targets are 1077 and 1085. Moves beyond that will challenge former swing highs at 1091, 1095, and ultimately 1098-1100.

The average range for a week on the S&P right now is about 40 points. This means if the market does collect steam as it moves above 1073 it is well within the grasp of the market to reach the 1100 mark once again. Targets/resistance beyond is 1105 then 1111-1113.

There are still warning signs this market is going to correct, thus we need to be aware that a move below 1065 indicates the possibility of a pullback. A pull below 1065 indicates a move to 1062, with a further move down testing 1060-1058. The bias shifts downward if 1058 is penetrated. This would signal a move to 1047-1045. Further target/support would be at 1036 and then once again 1029.

Anyone else had this issue? ]]> Contracts for Difference (CFDs) szafar http://www.trade2win.com/boards/contracts-difference-cfds/78264-ig-markets-quick-chart.html http://www.trade2win.com/boards/contracts-difference-cfds/78206-s-p-analysis-week-nov-2-a.html Sun, 01 Nov 2009 09:52:23 GMT The sham of a GDP number gave false optimism on Thursday; the reality of the situation is more congruent with Friday's action. But let's look at the technicals:

Rallies on the S&P 500 in the upcoming week can be expected to experience resistance at 1042 and if that fails to hold then 1061. A rise beyond that in the current climate is unlikely, but is (small percentage) possible. A rise above 1070 would signal this market has plenty of buyers (or short coverings) and is good for another move higher.

If Monday trades through 1032 it is likely the market will continue lower, although this is not really an important technical level. A continued move below 1029 points to a test of former swing lows at 1020 and then beyond that 1005-1000.

Based on a daily chart trendline the uptrend was still intact until Friday. A down day on Monday indicates the trend has in fact been broken and we are due for a larger correction.

While Friday was a down day, the Thursday lows held and we saw strong buying into the close, showing traders are still reluctant to head into the weekend on the short side.

The trend is still higher, but the market is losing momentum. This has been apparent on the RSI for some time, but despite lower highs on the RSI the market has pushed higher overall, therefore a divergence is only worthwhile once we see a break in price. The divergence does signal a weakening and warrants some caution on the long side.

Friday's trading formed a bearish engulfing pattern on the daily chart, coupled with the fact it occurred at a pivotal resistance level, it does indicate a pullback. Again, price will need to confirm. A drop below 1073 (especially a daily close) would confirm at least a short term retracement.

A move below 1073 is likely to target 1050-1045. A drop below 1040 would break daily trendline support, but further support is likely by 1020. A drop below that level indicates a larger move down.

Since we are waiting for price to confirm, another move higher is still possible, but not as likely as a move lower. A move above 1102 will target 1111. A break above that will target 1125-1130.

Happy Trading,
