Comments:

The market closed on Friday at it's highest weekly closing price in 79 weeks leaving the chart in bullish condition with the possibility of having the potential to reach up near the major long-term 50% retracement area at 1153 - 1170.50 area before this uptrend is over. The market faces major resistance at 1088.50 and 1089.60 area, which was hit in the GBX session last night. A trade above 1089.60 will be considered a breakout for higher prices to follow. A trade below 1069.30 and 1065.50 today is slightly bearish but only a trade below 1057.10 - 1053 area can bring any solid bearishness back to the chart. Remain defensive inside the wide trading area between 1089.60 and 1053. Whiplashing to both sides are still possible.

Remain defensive inside the first neutral trading range between 1079.80 and 1072.50 areas and also the wider second neutral trading range between 1082.50 and 1061.80.

S & P - For Monday 12-22-03 : 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.

Support: For the March contract -

1083.80 intra-day channel and base also 1082.20 day bottom (major area) / 1080.50 base and 1080.40 minor day channel also 1079.40 day channel and 1078.50 intra-day channel also 1078.20 minor weekly channel (very major area) / 1075.30 day bottom and 1075.10 day channel (major area) / 1070.70 weekly channel with GBX prices and 1069.30 day bottom (very major area) / 1066.70 day bottom and 1065.80 major day channel also 1065.70 minor weekly channel without GBX prices and 1065.60 GBX weekly bottom (very major area) / 1061.90 long-term major weekly channel and 1061.70 base also 1060.70 weekly channel and 1060.30 day channel (very major area) / 1058.90 weekly channel and 1057.50 long-term major day channel (very major area) / 1054.90 minor weekly channel (major) / 1053 monthly channel also 1052.50 major day channel and 1051.80 weekly bottom (very major area) / 1048.40 minor weekly channel and 1047.90 monthly channel also 1046 day bottom (very major area) / 1043.80 monthly channel and 1042.60 day channel (major area).

Comments:

The sell-off on Friday from the major resistance proved the significance of the area but the weekly closing price was up for the fourth week in a row, and also at its highest level in 80 weeks, leaving the chart in bullish condition, still having the possibility of reaching up near the major 50% retracement at 1153.70. A trade above the 1089.90 top is bullish but a trade above 1093.10 - 1094.20 area will be considered a breakout for higher prices. A trade below 1080.40 - 1078.20 area is slightly bearish but only a trade below 1070.70 and 1065.60 can bring any solid bearishness back to the chart. Remain defensive today inside the first trading area between the 1089.90 - 1093.80 resistance area and the 1080.40 - 1078.20 support area.
