Chart

Emini S&P September futures

  • Emini S&P can target 6488/90 (hit) & 6516/20.

  • A break above 6525 can target 6550/6555.

  • First support at 6465/6460 & longs need stops below 6455 (we traded down to 6453.50 but if you held on the worked perfectly).

  • Very strong support at 6445/6435 & longs need stops below 6425.

Nasdaq September futures

  • Emini Nasdaq break above 23800/23845 targets 23960/990 (hit) then 24150/200 (almost there!).

  • Above 24240 look for 24400.

  • We made a low for the day 3 ticks above an excellent buying opportunity at 23790/740 & longs need stops below 23650.

  • Just be aware that a weekly close below 23500 starts next week with a more negative bias & risks a slide to 23300/260.

Emini Dow Jones September futures

  • Emini Dow Jones we wrote: move above 44750 this week triggers a retest of 44900/950 as predicted & even the all time high at 44230/45312 is possible.

  • Targets hit!

  • However bulls need a break above the longer term trend line at 45400/45450 for a new buy signal next week.

  • Failure to beat 45400/45450 risks a slide to 45070 & 44800/750.
