A TECHNICAL GUIDE FOR DAY TRADING THE S & P
S & P - For Monday 06-30-03 :  NOTE:  After each support and resistance listed will designate a value - (very major) holds the highest importance, then (major), (very significant), and (significant) is of the least value.  Very aggressive trades - are trades that are against the trend or a high dollar risk when wide stops are used. "The Golden Rule" - Do not use a buy stop inside a sell area or a sell stop inside a buy area.  The word NEAR can be 1/2 to 1 point from a price listed in any trade to enter or complete a trade.
Special instructions for using stops - All stops listed are for the day session only.  Where stops ARE NOT mentioned, they should be placed below the second support area listed or above the second resistance area listed, or 22 points from the (trade entry point), whichever is the lesser amount.  NOTE:  The first support area becomes the resistance after the market trades through the second support area listed.  The first resistance area becomes the support after the market trades through the second resistance area listed.
Resistance:  For the Sept. contract -
975.30 and 976 intra-day channel also 976.50 peak (major area) / 977.80 peak and 978 intra-day channel also 978.50 gap (major area) / 983.30 rev. weekly channel also 982.50 and 983.90 day channel (very major area) / 984.50 and 985 peaks also 985.40 minor day channel (major area) / 986.90 minor day channel and 988 day top (very major area) / 990.20 day top and 991.20 weekly closing price also 992.50 weekly top (major area) / 995.20 and 996.30 peaks (significant) / 1000.10 minor day channel with GBX prices and 1000.50 peak also 1001 day top (very major area) / 1008.60 weekly channel and 1009.80 day session closing price also 1010.20 and 1010.80 weekly channels and 1010.50 day top (very major area) / 1012.70 GBX top also 1014.50 and 1014.80 weekly double top also 1015.80 weekly chart's top (very major area) / 1020 weekly top and 1023.10 minor weekly upper channel (major area).
 
Support:  For the Sept. contract -
971.50 and 971.80 double weekly bottom also 971.10 GBX weekly bottom also 970.90 major weekly channel (very major area) / 970 day bottom and 969.50 GBX weekly bottom (major area) / 965.70 major day channel and 965.80 minor weekly channel and 963.50 monthly bottom also 963.30 monthly gap and 962.20 day session gap (very major area) / 957.90 monthly channel but will cancel out on July 1, 2003 (major area) / 952 day gap and 950.50 minor weekly channel also 948.10 day channel and 948 day gap (very major area) / 945 day bottom and 943.20 weekly closing price also 943 minor weekly channel (very major area) / 933.20 day channel (major) / 927 weekly chart's bottom and 926 weekly bottom (very major area).
 
Comments:
    The whiplashing action sell-off on Friday remained inside the neutral area closing down near a very critical support area.  A trade below 970.90 is bearish for prices to challenge the 965.80 channel support and the 963.30 monthly gap.  Below 962.20 will challenge near 950.50 - 948 area.  A trade today above 983.30 - 985.40 area is slightly bullish but only a trade above 988 - 992.50 area can bring any significant bullishness back to the chart.  A trade above 1000.10 - 1001 will confirm the uptrend is back into play.  Remain defensive inside the first neutral trading area between 978.50 - 970.90 area.
               
Day trades:  For The Sept. contract -
 
Aggressive traders can sell rallies near 975 - 978 area or buy dips near 972 - 970.90 area, whichever side comes first to complete the trade.  (Use a buy stop and rev. long at 980).  (Use a sell stop and rev. short at 968.70).
 
Aggressive traders can sell rallies near 983 - 985.40 area for obj. near 980 - 978 area.  (Use a buy stop and rev. long at 993).  (Conservative traders can use a protective buy stop at 988.30.  Do not rev. long).

A TECHNICAL GUIDE FOR DAY TRADING THE S & P
S & P - For Monday 07-07-03 :  NOTE:  After each support and resistance listed will designate a value - (very major) holds the highest importance, then (major), (very significant), and (significant) is of the least value.  Very aggressive trades - are trades that are against the trend or a high dollar risk when wide stops are used. "The Golden Rule" - Do not use a buy stop inside a sell area or a sell stop inside a buy area.  The word NEAR can be 1/2 to 1 point from a price listed in any trade to enter or complete a trade.
Special instructions for using stops - All stops listed are for the day session only.  Where stops ARE NOT mentioned, they should be placed below the second support area listed or above the second resistance area listed, or 22 points from the (trade entry point), whichever is the lesser amount.  NOTE:  The first support area becomes the resistance after the market trades through the second support area listed.  The first resistance area becomes the support after the market trades through the second resistance area listed.
Resistance:  For the Sept. contract -
983.40 weekly channel and 984.80 intra-day channel (very major area) / 986.50 and 986.70 peaks also 986.80 intra-day channel (major area) / 990 peak and 990.60 day channel also 992.70 minor day channel (very major area) / 994.20 weekly top also 995.20 and 996.30 peaks (major area) / 999.90 and 1001 top (very major) / 1003.70 and 1005 minor monthly channels also 1005.10 weekly channel and 1006 day channel (very major areas) / 1008.40 weekly channel and 1010.50 day top (very major area) / 1012.70 GBX weekly top and 1014.80 weekly top also 1015.80 weekly chart's top (very major area) / 1020 weekly top (major) / 1025.60 and 1028.30 weekly closing prices (very major area) / 1030 minor upper channel (major) / 1035 monthly channel (very major area)
 
Support:  For the Sept. contract -
979.70 and 978.50 intra-day channels (major area) / 976 day bottom and 975.30 base (major area) / 971.25 major weekly channel and 969.70 minor weekly channel also 969.30 major day channel (very major area) / 968.70 minor weekly channel and 968.50 base also 967.20 and 966 day channels (very major area) / 960.50 day bottom (major) / 957 minor weekly channel and 955 minor day channel (very major area) / 952 day bottom (major) / 948.30 minor weekly channel and 948 day gap (very major area).
 
Comments:
    Friday's trading range remained inside the neutral area, closing down for the day but up for the week leaving the chart neutral between the 999.90 monthly channel resistance and the 969.70 to 966 weekly channel supports.  A trade today above 990.50 and 994.20 area is slightly bullish and can challenge the 999.90 monthly channel.  A trade above 999.90 and 1005 areas will be considered a breakout for higher prices to develop.  A trade below 979.70 - 978.50 area is slightly bearish but only a trade below 971.25 and 966 areas can bring any solid bearishness back to the chart.  Remain defensive inside today's  neutral trading area between 991 - 979.70.
