ES short term trading 01/06/11

In order to overcome the 1273.50 resistance barrier from this afternoon, I think the ES will need to open gap up and above it.

So for tonight and tomorrows trading: If ES moves above 1272,50, will target 1276.75 as first objective, above 1276.75, 1281.25 as second obj. above 1281.25, 1285.75 as third Obj.

The voiding point for that possible scenario is at 1269.25.

Below 1269.25, 1265.00 is next support.

ES trading 1272.00 @ 22:22

Will see, and as always, the market has the last word and in due time will show us the way.

as long as we don't close on 30 minute back above the O/N low and 60 minute low then that ledge in 67.25 area is a reasonable goal

Back from lunch. Moving stop to B.E. 1267.25

Moving below 1266.00 will void my objective and have me reversing towards 262.50 and possibly 1257 area.

yeah, i much prefer longs here...but i did just sell (one only) at 1271.75

Failing to move above previous day close 1271.75. testing as SR, lots of resistance here. Taking partial profit on three and let 2 go with sto at 1269.25

, if i had two es instead of one ,id let the runner go ,but i wasnt that smart!...

i only have 2.5 handles in the bank today so i've lowered my stop to 1272.50 from 73 originally...

just took 1272.25... there seems to be more support here than i would have suspected,..plus 1.5 (only had one es)

1272.25 is the red avg on my 5 min chart.. normal support in an uptrend...

Runners stp out. Will see if will give me an other set-up or I'm closing shop.

Here is one example of double bottom, "BUT" it is in a 2M chart.

Below is a pic of 3 intraday charts from the same day session 12/31/10. A 2M chart (left), a 5M and a 10M.

In the 2M chart, notice that at 09:46, the price hits the daily support trend line and percentage support cluster (78.6% and 127.2%) then bounces off. The second 2m bar, at 09:48 opens right at support and also bounces off creating a double bottom with the opening right at the low on support.
Notice that the other time frame isolators where working their way down to oversold.

This set-up does not happen often but when it does it is fun to trade it.
