US stock market continue to trend higher

  • Emini S&P December made a contract high at 5830 but reversed to 5778.
    The low & high for the last session were 5778 - 5830.

  • Emini Nasdaq December is in a very slow 2 month bull trend, recovering from the late August collapse.
    Last session high & low for the last session were: 20188 - 20538.

  • Emini Dow Jones December collapsed leaving a bearish engulfing candle on Wednesday but recovered most of the losses yesterday, so the candle was probably a false signal.
    Fortunately I ignored the signal & had us buying at first support at 42270/230.
    The long worked perfectly as we shot higher to 42594.
    Last session high & low for the last session were: 42231 - 42594.

Emini S&P September futures

  • Emini S&P beat 5805 for a buy signal & hit the next target of 5830/35 but then unexpectedly reversed.

  • We have moved very little this week & are struggling to push higher in severely overbought conditions but of course, shorts are a bad idea without a sell signal in such a strong longer term bull trend.

  • So I have no strong signals but if we continue higher look for 5875/85, perhaps as far as 5900/05.

  • My best suggestion on how to trade this market is to buy at support but be quick to take a profit in the low volatility conditions.

  • First support at 5795/90 & longs need stops below 5785.

  • Next support at 755/5770 should be stronger but longs need stops below 5765.

  • Look for 10 to 15 points profit on these trades.

  • Strong support at 5745/35 & longs need stops below 5730.
    Targets: 5755 & 5765.

Nasdaq September futures

  • The break above the August high of 20217/251 hit my targets of 20330/340 & 20400/430, but not quite as far as 20600 just yet, with a high for the day yesterday at 20538.

  • We made a low for the day at support at 20250/150 but longs need stops below 20050.

  • Very strong support at 19900/800 & longs need stops below 19700.

Emini Dow Jones September futures

  • Longs at first support at 42270/230 worked perfectly & longs need stops below 42050 if the level is retested today.

  • We may start a consolidation phase now, where we trade in a sideways pattern to ease overbought conditions.

  • A break lower risks a slide to 41900/800.

  • We could have resistance again at 42650/680.

  • However a break above 42700 can target 42800/820, perhaps as far as 43000/43100.
