A TECHNICAL GUIDE FOR DAY TRADING THE S & P
S & P - For Monday 03-29-04:  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 June contract -
1108.20 and 1109 peaks also 1109.20 intra-day gap (major area) / 1111.40 day channel with GBX prices and 1112.40 day channel without GBX prices (major area) / 1114 day top also 1114 day channel with GBX prices (very major area) / 1118.30 peak (major) / 1122 day top and 1122.80 day gap (major area) / 1124.80 weekly top excluding GBX prices and 1125.20 day top (major area) /1127.20 GBX weekly top (major) / 1131.60 is the 50% retracement area (major area) / 1137 peak and 1138.30 day session closing price (major area) / 1140.50 day top (major) / 1142.70 and 1143.80 peaks also 1144.80 day top (major area) / 1149.50 minor weekly channel (major area) / 1155.30 long-term major weekly channel (very major area) / 1156.80 weekly closing price and 1158.70 weekly top (major area) / 1162.30 June contract's weekly top and 1163.50 weekly chart's top (very major area).
 
Support:  For the June contract -
1105.50 double base and 1104.50 day bottom also 1103 base (major area) / 1100.80 weekly rev. channel and 1100.30 minor day channel with GBX prices also 1099.50 base (very major area) / 1096 base (major) / 1093.80 day bottom (major area) / 1091.50 day gap (major) / 1090.50 newly developed long-term major weekly channel and 1090.10 GBX bottom (very major area) / 1088.90 major weekly channel and 1088.40 long-term major day channel also 1087.40 major day channel and 1087.10 minor weekly channel (very major area) / 1083.90 major weekly channel and 1083.40 monthly channel (very major area) / 1080 day bottom (major) / 1075.20 minor down channel and 1075 day bottom (major area) / 1067.50 weekly bottom and 1066 weekly bottom in the June contract (major area).
 
Comments:
    The whiplashing action and sell-off on Friday proved the significance of the resistance area leaving the chart in neutral condition between the 1114 - 1100.30 trading area.  A trade above the 1114 area is slightly bullish but only a trade above the 1124.80 - 1127.20 area can bring any significant bullishness back to the chart.  A trade below the 1100.80 - 1100.30 area is slightly bearish but only a trade below the 1090.50 - 1088.40 channels can bring any solid bearishness back to the chart.  A trade below the 1083.90 - 1083.40 area will confirm the downtrend intact for lower prices to follow.  Remain defensive inside the first trading area between 1111.40 - 1114 resistance and 1100.80 - 1100.30 support areas. 
       
Day trades:  For The June contract -
 
Aggressive traders can sell rallies near 1111.40 - 1114 area for obj. near 1105.50 - 1103 area and possibly near 1100.80 - 1100.30 area.  (Use a buy stop and rev. long at 1117).
 
Aggressive traders can buy dips near 1101.50 - 1100.30 area and if possible near the 1099.50 area for obj. near 1104 - 1105.50 area and possibly near 1107.  (Use a sell stop and rev. short at 1097).

Short positions were taken on the open at 1112.50.  The rally above the 1114 resistance put the chart slightly into bullish territory. 
 
It is recommended to exit the short position at the market, which is trading at 1114.50 at this time and cut looses.  The trade is now a high risk for the 1117 area to possible be hit.

Comments:
    The rally on Monday brought prices up near last week's top, which can now be considered a technical double top and can prove to be significant enough to stimulate selling pressure for retracements to the downside.  A trade above the 1124.80 top and 1127.20 GBX weekly top can bring prices up to challenge the 1131.60, 50% retracement area, and possibly near the 1149.50 and 1155.30 major channels.  A trade today below the 1113.20 channel and 1112.50 bottom is slightly bearish but only a trade below 1106.10 - 1105.40 channel area can bring any significant bearishness back to the chart.  Remain defensive inside the first narrow trading range between 1122.90 and 1118.70 area and also between the 1127.20 and 1113.20 trading area. 
       
Day trades:  For The June contract -
 
Aggressive traders can sell rallies near 1121.90 - 1122.90 area or buy dips near 1120.20 - 1118.70 area, whichever side comes first, to complete the trade.  (Use a protective buy stop at 1123.70.  Do not rev. long).  (Use a sell stop and rev short at 1115.90).
 
Aggressive traders can buy dips near 1113.50 - 1113.20 area for obj. near 1115.50 - 1117 area. (Use a sell stop and rev. short at 1111).

The first trade was repeated twice today.  All trades having "which ever side comes first" in the format can be repeated twice realizing the second time is a higher risk then the first.  When repeated for the third time it will be considered a very aggressive trade and a much higher risk trade.  The system will not post any trade for the third time.

Comments:
    The rally on Tuesday managed to close the session up for the fifth day in a row and also closing above the 1124.80 weekly top, which leaves the chart in neutral to bullish condition.  It now faces resistance at the 1127.20 GBX top and the 1131.60 area, which is the major 50% retracement.  A trade above these areas can bring prices up to challenge the 1140.50 - 1144.80 top areas and possibly near the 1149.50 and 1155.30 major channels.  A trade today below the 1120.90 - 1120.80 area is slightly bearish but only a trade below 1112.50 and 1110.50 areas can bring any solid bearishness back to the chart.  Remain defensive inside the first trading area between the 1126.70 - 1127.20 resistance and 1122.70 - 1120.80 support areas. 
       
Day trades:  For The June contract -

Comments:
    The whiplashing action continued on Wednesday closing down for the day and leaving the chart neutral inside the trading range between 1132.50 and 1115.60.  A trade above 1132.50 is bullish and can bring prices up to challenge the 1138.30 - 1140.50 area and possibly near the 1149.50 and 1155.30 major channels.  A trade below 1115.60 is bearish but only a trade below the 1109.70 and 1103.20 newly developed monthly channels, that will remain for this month, can bring any solid bearishness back to the chart.  Remain defensive inside the first trading range between the 1127.80 - 1128.90 resistance and 1124 - 1121.80 support areas. 
       
Day trades:  For The June contract -

A TECHNICAL GUIDE FOR DAY TRADING THE S & P
S & P - For Friday 04-02-04:  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 June contract -
1133.40 and 1134.40 newly developed day channels also 1134.80 day top and the 1131.60 area is still considered the 50% retracement and neutral area (major area) / 1137 peak and 1138.30 day session closing price also 1138.60 upper channel (major area) / 1140.50 day top (major) / 1142.70 and 1143.80 peaks also 1144.80 day top (major area) / 1149.50 minor weekly channel (major area) / 1155.30 long-term major weekly channel (very major area) / 1156.80 weekly closing price and 1158.70 weekly top (major area) / 1162.30 June contract's weekly top and 1163.50 weekly chart's top (very major area).
 
Support:  For the June contract -

Comments:
    The whiplashing action continued on Thursday proving the neutral condition but managed to trade and close higher leaving the chart neutral to slightly bullish inside the 50% retracement area.  A trade above today's high can bring prices up to challenge the 1137 - 1138.60 area and possibly show enough strength to reach near the 1149.50 and 1155.30 major channels.  A trade today below the 1127 channel is slightly bearish but a trade below the 1123.60 channel and 1120.70 channel is bearish for prices to challenge the 1109.70 and 1103.20 major monthly channel.  At this time only, a trade below the 1109.70 and 1103.20 area can bring any solid bearishness back to the chart.  Remain defensive inside the first trading area between 1134.40 and 1127 and also between the 1138.60 and 1120.70 wide trading range.
           
Day trades:  For The June contract -
 
Aggressive traders can sell rallies near 1133.40 - 1134.40 area or buy dips near 1130 - 1127 area, whichever side comes first to complete the trade.  (Use a buy stop and rev. long at 1135.80).  (Use a sell stop and rev. short at 1126.20).
 
Aggressive traders can sell rallies near 1148 - 1149.50 area for obj. near 1145.50 - 1144.50 area and possibly near 1140.50.  (Use a buy stop and rev. long at 1151).

The market has developed a new trading range between 1144.80 day top and 1135.  It was a sell at the 1140.50 - 1144.80 top areas and a buy at the 1135 area. 
 
Because of the volatility of all the market conditions today, Only the phone consultation customers received this new trading information.  These trades will not be posted in the results but traders should realize when a market opens above or below the main trading range they can call the Tech Guru at (540)843-4878 for new trading information.  The cost is only $1.33 per minute but look at the advantage you can have knowing this change of information.  Don't hesitate calling.  Information is always to your advantage.

The technical formation is now considering the 1145.70 a technical double top to this morning high and therefore will be cancelled at this time. 
 
It is still considered a sell at the 1148 - 1149.59 area.  Very aggressive traders can sell at the 1140.50 - 1144.80 area but must continue to use a buy stop and rev. long at 1151.  The obj.  is at 1135 - 1132 area.

Short positions were taken at 1140.50 and at the double top at 1142.20.  The sell-off down to 1138.50 seems good enough to consider taking profits and complete the trade.

The rally up to 1140.50 put traders into short positions again.  The sell-off down to 1138.80 is worthy of taking profits and complete the trade.
 
This trade is completed twice and will not be repeated.

The sell area at 1140.50 - 1144.80 was completed twice today.  The sell-off down to 1135.50 is today's new buying area as indicated in the previous bulletin and surprisingly came into play again putting traders into long positions.  The rally up to 1140.50 meets the obj. and completes the trade.
 
As noted in our bulletin from last week -  The Tech Guru will be out of the office for next week from April 5 to April 9, 2004.  There will be no S & P Daily Report until April 12, 2004.  Have a great week and good luck in trading.

Comments:
    The rally on Friday removed some of the bearishness from the chart but the weekly closing price still managed to close down for the second weekly in a row leaving the chart in neutral to slightly bearish condition.  Only a trade above the 1149.10 major weekly channel can bring any bullishness back to the chart.  Also a trade above 1154.70 monthly channel will be considered a breakout for higher prices to follow.  A trade below 1130.60 and 1126.10 are bearish but only a trade below the 1109.70 monthly channel and 1106.90 weekly channel will confirm the major trend to the downside for lower prices to follow.  Remain defensive inside the first trading range between 1135.70 and 1130.60.  Also the next major trading range between 1146.50 - 1149.10 resistance and 1126.10 - 1123.50 support.  The monthly trading range for April will remain between 1154.70 and 1109.70 until either side is broken.
