Emini Futures Trading / No Fly Zone Over Wall Street

E-Mini S&P 500:  No fly zone over Wall Street?  

The E-Mini S&P 500 had an inside to higher day as we had anticipated, but with lighter volume.  This market has faced headwinds in the recent weeks as Maummar Gaddafi troops rained destruction on protestors who launched revolts against the ruling dictator.  The US has waited for NATO to vote and issue the No Fly Zone over Libya adding that the mission is to save civilians and not oppose the current regime.  Japan has controlled the nuclear incident to the point of giving a renewed confidence in the strength of their industrious nation.  This market needs some buying momentum to jet to new levels.  The Crude Oil has been a drag for the market as inflation concerns may pressure the E-Mini S&P 500.  On the stock side, Netflix Inc. was up 3.2 % while Walgreen Co. was down 6.4 %.  Sprint Nextel Corp was up 3.9 %.  There are mixed reports and mixed sentiments floating about in the marketplace.  Key factors are:  The allocations of money from the large funds must go somewhere. The housing market, inflation and unemployment are the key components to our recovery and global events have weighed on investor sentiment to a degree of sidelining some traders.  What we look for is the technical price action in the marketplace to give the signal to buy or sell without emotion.  Hindsight is 20/20, but the price patterns do reoccur and can be used to site potential moves.   Tomorrow is a critical day!   We have  an EIA Report on the energies in the morning.  The relationship with the crude oil may be inverse.   Global news may come in any time regarding some events to potentially impact the market.

Today, we had no major US Economic Reports due out.

Wednesday, we look forward to US New Home Sales at 9:00 AM CST.

Wednesday, what to expect!  We are technically in buy mode and we anticipate a better housing number!  Today’s range was $1296.50 - $1287.50.  The market settled at $1288.25.     Our comfort zone or point of control for this market appears to be $1291.00.   We may look to buy this market tomorrow!  We view this as perhaps a possible buy set-up with a potential range of $1308.00 - $1288.00

BETWEEN the  LINES

Last night on the chart we offered the following idea - "If you've shorted the Weekly Trading Zone above 1294/1295, lock in some profit at the 1284/1285 level..." If you took heed - BRAVO! Personally I see the 1244/1245 WTZ as a potential downside target by close of business Friday.

We tweeted the following trade ideas in the last 15 minutes of trading today. 

ES- Sell 1286 STOP
YM - Sell 12,940 STOP
