A TECHNICAL GUIDE FOR DAY TRADING THE S & P
S & P - For Monday 11-03-03 :  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 Dec. contract -
1049.50 day channel with GBX prices (major) / 1051.40 peak and 1051.40 minor day channel and 1051.60 newly developed major weekly channel also 1052 and 1052.60 day tops also 1052.10 monthly channel and 1053 weekly channel (very major area) / 1054.50 GBX weekly top and 1055.20 GBX weekly top (major area) / 1061 day top and 1062.15 minor upper channel (major area) / 1066.20 major weekly upper channel and 1066.60 major monthly upper channel also 1067.50 monthly closing price and 1069 weekly closing gap for the Dec. contract (very major area) / 1071 monthly top (major) / 1077.20 monthly closing price (very major area) / 1094 day session closing price and 1096 day top (major area).
 
Support:  For the Dec. contract -
1047.50 base and 1047.50 minor day channel with GBX prices and 1047.20 base area also 1046.70 day bottom (major area) / 1044.30 minor day channel (major) / 1042.50 and 1041.60 day bottoms also 1040 GBX bottom (major area) / 1035.50 weekly channel and 1032.80 day bottom (very major area) / 1030.70 day gap and 1029.80 GBX bottom (major area) / 1027.30 weekly bottom and 1027.10 major monthly channel also 1026 day channel (very major area) / 1022 major long-term day channel and 1022.40 major weekly channel (very major area) / 1016.70 and 1016.50 monthly channels also 1016.50 weekly bottom (very major area) / 1008.20 and 1006.40 minor weekly channels (very major area).
 
Comments:  
    Friday's session remained inside the neutral area but managed to close up for the 5th day in a row and also up for the week leaving the chart in neutral to bullish condition.  The market continues to face the major channels and double top area that can possibly stimulate some selling pressure but only a trade below 1035.50 and 1027.10 areas can bring any solid bearishness back to the chart.  A trade this week above the 1051.60 - 1053 area and also above 1054.50 - 1055.20 GBX tops will be considered a breakout for prices to challenge up near the 1066.20 - 1069 area.  A trade above the 1069 - 1071 will confirm the major uptrend intact for prices to eventually challenge up near the 1153 - 1170 area, which is the major 50% retracement area from the past 3 1/2 years of trading.  Remain defensive today inside the first neutral trading area between the 1051.40 - 1053 resistance and 1047.50 - 1044.30 support. 
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  
Day trades:  For The Dec. contract -
 
Aggressive traders can sell rallies near 1051 - 1053 area and if possible, near 1054 - 1055 area and or buy dips near 1047.50 - 1046.70 area and if possible near 1045 - 1044.30 area, whichever side comes first, to complete the trade.  (Use a buy stop and rev. long at 1058.70).  (Use a sell stop and rev. short at 1039).
 
Buy stop at 1058.70 for obj. near 1063 - 1066 area.
Buy stop at 1072 for obj. near 1075 - 1077 area and possibly near 1069.

Comments:  
    The rally on Monday brought prices above the double top but managed to sell-off from the major upper channel line at 1060.60 leaving the chart neutral and defensive for prices to swing either way.  A trade above the 1060.50 - 1062.20 channel area is bullish but a trade above 1066.20 - 1071 area will confirm the major uptrend intact for higher prices to follow.  A trade today below 1045.20 is slightly bearish but only a trade below 1035.50 can bring any solid bearishness back to the chart.  Remain defensive inside the 1057 - 1051.60 neutral trading area and also inside the wide weekly range between 1066.20 and 1035.50.

Comments:  
    The whiplashing action on Tuesday proved the neutral condition and significance of this area leaving the chart critically neutral inside a very tight trading range between 1053.50 and 1050.70.  The weekly trading range remains between 1066.20 and 1035.50, which one side is likely to materialize soon.  A breakout to either side can possibly point a direction.  Remain defensive inside the first neutral range and until a solid signal for direction is established.

Comments:  
    The sell-off and rally whiplashing on Wednesday managed to close up on the day leaving the chart neutral to slightly bullish.  A trade above 1059.30 - 1060.50 area is bullish and a trade above 1063.20 and 1066.60 areas will confirm the major uptrend intact for higher prices.  A trade today below 1046.60 is slightly bearish but only a trade below 1035.50 can bring any solid bearishness back to the chart.  Remain defensive inside today's neutral trading area between 1059.30 and 1046.60.

Comments:  
    The rally on Thursday from the support area was significant and managed to close the market at the major resistance area leaving the chart neutral to bullish but very defensive.  A trade above 1060.50 - 1062.20 area is bullish but a trade above 1066.20 - 1067.50 area will confirm the major uptrend intact for higher prices to follow.  A trade today below the 1048.60 and 1048.30 channels is slightly bearish but a trade below 1043.30 - 1040 area will challenge the 1035.50 weekly channel.  A trade below 1035.50 - 1032.30 area can possibly reverse the momentum to the downside.  Remain defensive inside the neutral trading area between 1062.20 and 1053.40 area.

Comments:  
    The sell-off on Friday from the major resistance area proved the significance of the area, but the weekly closing price managed to settle up for the week leaving the chart neutral inside a very tight daily trading range between 1058.40 and 1045.30 daily channels.  The weekly channels leaves the chart neutral between 1016.50 and 1045.  The monthly channels leaves the chart neutral between 1069.90 and 1027.10.  With all the different trading ranges that has developed, it will take a breakout to either side of the monthly range between 1069.90 and 1027.10 to possibly point a solid direction.  Until then, remain defensive inside the first neutral trading range between 1054.40 and 1049.60 also between 1058.40 and 1045.30.

Comments:  
    The sell-off on Monday brought prices slightly below the 1045 major weekly channel but managed to close in neutral condition.  The neutral condition can swing prices to both sides.  A trade below 1040 can put selling pressure to bring prices down to challenge the 1035.50 and possibly near the 1027.10 major support.  A trade below 1027.10 is bearish and can be the first signal of a major reversal of the trend to the downside.  A trade today above 1058.40 and 1061.50 is bullish but only a trade above 1066.60 and 1069.90 will confirm the uptrend intact for higher prices.  Remain defensive inside the first trading range between 1049 and 1045 and also between 1058.40 and 1040 area.

Comments:  
    Tuesday's trading session remained inside the first narrow neutral area, leaving the chart neutral again but slightly supportive inside the first narrow trading range between 1048.30 and 1043.90 area.  As long as the market remains above the 1040 area today then rallies can develop.  The second and major trading range today is between 1058.40 and 1037.10, which is significant at this time.  Remain defensive inside these two trading areas until a solid direction can be established.
