The Precise Take – Equity futures to gap down into support

Leaders Analysis:  The US Dollar Index is up marginally overnight after rallying strongly the previous two days.  Though intraday it has been higher this year, it has yet to close above 80.85.  Accordingly, on the first test of this area in several weeks, it is unlikely to break through.  The EuroYen is hugging its 20 day moving average and 30 year T-Bond yields are at resistance.  All in all, the leaders are slightly equities bullish today; however, the overnight low in the EuroYen forex cross needs to hold intraday.

Medium Term Analysis:  With no scheduled news today, the markets will digest the health bill passed over the weekend.  This will be the first Monday since September 21, 2009 to materially gap down.  Last Monday began with a minor down gap and, after a flush of weak longs, closed the day strongly.  We could see a similar setup today.  Durable goods Wednesday will be a sneak peak of Friday’s GDP.  We would expect to see the bottom…

    Lower end is more likely seeing market going down at the begining no?

    Also, I noticed is equivalent to under 1150 in spot market…… kind of totem number

    ~1143 is a great exit for me….compensates the week-end suffering :-)

    Glad to hear you got out okay. If lower end is reached with subsequent rally to ~1150 intraday (and preferably close above), there’s a good chance the low will be in. If lower end does not hold, this correction will probably be more than just minor. Should have said that as well. Hope everyone reads the comments!

    81 and 135 min have formed a double bullish outside bar.

    ES stronger early than I thought. Hard to say if today’s move is over. Could also melt up overnight. Friday’s overnight and early morning range are so far being rejected, but ES is accepting just below. You could play a breakout of the 1157 to 1161 area, but personally, I don’t like breakouts. If you’re following the July rally parallel, today would be July 29. So far it’s been a reliable guide.

    The early morning bear trap possibility was perfect. Your comment “ES is accepting just below” in the last post was a nice reminder to stay away from the short side. Thanks Bob.
