ES Short Term Trading for 3-21-2011


Thought I'd go ahead and launch Monday's ES goodies for folks to add to. Posting my Monkey MAP of the ES June contract, 30min bars for 20 days. The Red lines are potentially significant PASR levels with Magenta as semi-significant. The Whitish dashed lines are the Weekly Pivots. The 2 Yellow lines are a Fib Cluster that stood out to me in that zone. And fwiw, I also included in Green, an Andrews Pitchfork since it "felt" right for what I was looking at. The right vertical Blue lines are Volume at Price. Hope this is a helpful MAP to folks!

Lots of lines ... but I'm showing roughly 100 points with this particular chart.
Forgot to mention that the grayed out background is "overnight" trading activity while the solid blue background is RTH.
(kind of shows how much time/trading goes on outside of the RTH's)
Good morning. It would appear from overnight price action, the bulls have taken control!...for now... I still look for a legitimate test of the recent lows however over the next week or so,, Sentimentrader notes: "S&P futures are up more than +0.6%. When we've seen an opening gap of +0.5% after March expiry, the futures went up an additional +1.7% on average through Tuesday's open, and gained ground 5 out of 5 times. But then the futures lost ground 4 out of 5 times during the next 3-4 days."
I don't buy on 3rd up gap in a row...especially when the other two up gaps have failed ( haven't filled)..that is a fairly small sample size Kool for opt expiration stuff but price action will tell us...thanks for the heads up though

The 91.50 magnet is at O/N highs and 84 - 85 has loads of volume and my prefered direction and target from up here...

so we can watch that O/N high for continuation which would lead to the next magnet up at 1295 and 1300 - 1302..then 1306 - 1308...but I'm picking at short side


further short side failure will go back to the 81 volume

this is just my glorified way of posting the numbers that we've seen for the last week or more...all volume based ....getting closes on 30 minute outside the O/N high will cause me to rethink the plan
Here is the O/N profile.

Now NQ did as well
starting second short at 94.50 today..perhaps they will trend it ...smaller as report in 9 minute..targeting 90.50
INDU is now 50 ticks above the 12,000 (about 5 points ES)
BIG volume back into a key number on that push...internals seem too strong and too early to be this strong..
revising first target to 91.50 ..
