Up to 1000 ticks profits on the short Emini S&P 500 trade [Video]

  • Emini S&P June futures shorts at strong resistance at 5145/55 worked perfectly as the index crashed 100 points yesterday.

  • .Emini Nasdaq collapsed from just below my resistance at 18050/18150.

Emini S&P has recovered all the losses and bounced 100 points to 5,134

  • Shorts at strong resistance at 5145/55 worked perfectly with a high for the day exactly here before the index crashed to my targets: 5130, 5110, 5090 & even 5050 !!

  • A great call!!

  • We should have support at 5050/5040 (with a low for the day almost exactly here yesterday) & longs need stops below 5025.

  • Targets: 5080, 5100, 5110.

  • If we see a very strong bounce we should meet strong resistance again at 5145/55.

  • A break lower is a sell signal & sees 5035/45 act as resistance to target  5020 & 5010/05.

  • A break below 5000 is the next sell signal targeting 4985 & even 4970/65 is possible.

Nasdaq June futures caught me out as we shot higher to 17,717

  • We headed lower as expected but unfortunately could not quite reach strong resistance at 18050/18150 although targets of 17850, 17750, 17650 were all hit.

  • Holding below strong resistance at 17570/630 keeps the pressure on for 17330/300, perhaps as far as 17150.

  • Shorts at 17570/630 stop above 17680.
