ES Weekend preview 3-27-11


This will likely be the last weekend preview, since most of us are very short term players, im just not sure how useful it is! Anyway, here's what im looking at now, with an emphasis on the shorter term, but be aware that so much can change with Sun nights globex trading, that you have to take it (especially short term proj. numbers) with a grain of salt!....first , a quick look at next months seasonals (historically,the 3rd best month of the year,after Nov and Dec!)....This chart has both the % of time pos. and avg return on it!...

AND FINALLY: regarding the longer term, i believe a significant intermediate term bottom is either in or will be on the next significant decline(statiscally they take 2-18 days to form) before a resumption of the uptrend to 1426 minimum,possibly by the end of June? One is from Price Headly and the other from sentimentrader....both seem to reinforce my opinion/

Kool, Thank you very much for the detailed explanation with charts. If oil price do not decline next week, then S&P may struggle to go up. Volume is weak and NASDAQ is also weak. This week will be crucial for testing the resistance. My assumption is that profit booking may take place this week before resuming uptrend.
Here are two charts to help with prep work. First one is the RTH profile from last week and the second one is the full globex profile for last week.
