Daily Reflection: 08.05

This week we have been trading within the value area each day resulting in complete chop. Looking at a daily it’s clear that we are in a period of consolidation. The more we move sideways after a gap the more likely we are to break in the direction of the gap once the consolidation is over. Therefore, we are looking for a resume to the trend and move higher. Tomorrow’s Employment Situation is the big news at 7:30 CST so…

Given that we hit our 1122 target on the S&P. The next expected pullback level would be 1187, however since we traded back at a 50% level of 1085, we have another unfilled target at 1134. The longer term bullish line in the sand will be 1078, bullish above, bearish below.

A very technical day in the markets today. Expecting a great week for trading. Looking for that 1122 on the S&P this week. If we sell off from there we will look to get long again around 1086. The VIX continues to fall and is about to breakdown out of a decending triangle. This is a pivotal level and we should see some strong moves in the market this week.

Today’s bearishness was purely reactionary. Market orders after Bernanke spoke this afternoon sent the market lower, closing off roughly 14 S/P points. We didn’t even break yesterday’s lows. Yesterday the bulls took control in full force and today I feel it was simply some of the bulls jumping ship, rather than the bears taking over. If we break below Tuesday’s close then I can see us retesting lows and more than likely breaking yearly lows. Looking at the chart below,…
