Bullish scenario: If reports are all good, 25-30 pts bounce would be valid again with support 1001.

Bearish scenario: Wth bad reports, resistance pivot (stop) 1016.50, target 98x should be hit before 10:00AM PST; if not, black Monday possible.

If covered short at 1009-1011 on Thursday, try to short again with 1016.50 stop. If this 1003 is hit at globex, cover some.

Pre-opening update: 1001.50 stop, selling bais, target 981-978. Watch out 978 target, can reverse to buy side with 987-988 stop. For stocks, once it hits 980 area, buy buy buy stocks.

Bullish scenario: (If 1030 is broken before 7:00AM)

Our buying 1004 with 1003.25 stop "could be" a bottom already for a intermediate bounce (50 pts). Support/stop 1020, target 1029.50 (spike 1034). Aggressive trade: After midnight, 1020 stop, buy side.

Bearish scenario:

If market got stalled at 1030 area, it can plunge 30 points before weekend as easily. Resistance pivot 1030 (ES02U), target 1020, 1016.75.

[Result: Morning high 1020, low 1002.5, reversed short to buy side from 1004, high 1022.50, close 1020.5] We have reviewed most of better-than-average newsletters for day trading sp on Wednesday, NONE of them had a buy order below 1014, some of them just had the buy signal at 1015 area; some lost, some gain a little. We were the only one had the buy signal at 1004 with 1003.25 stop!

 

Buy side is better than short side with 1027 stop for target 1040, 1045. Aggresive trade: Enter at Globex after midnight. If traders have made more than 10 points for last 2 days, try to risk 2 points with 1/2 entry.

Conservative traders wait for opening. If it opened above 1032, then 1030.50 stop, buying bias, target 1040-41. Keep in mind, the middle = 1035.50. If it opened below 1030, anohter strategy.

Stop 1036.75, buying bias, target 1056-59, then followed by... points from Tuesday low).

After mid-night, support/stop will be 1040.75, buying bias. Can only risk 1-1.5 points.

Short side trade sp by following Dow. Pay attention to Dow Jones 95xx.It would be around 1025 for SP02M. If it gets hit on Tuesday, then buy bounce for two days. First 90 minutes after opening is crucial. If bounce is disappointing, another story.

Resistance 1047 (agg short is at 45.50), support 1035-37.

If this 45-47 gets hit after mid-night or opens gap up at this level, try to short one more time for 1037 testing, if 1037 broken, next target 1031 testing.

Keep in mind, Western diplomats are scheduled to mediate from Wednesday. Karachi time is about 12 hours ahead of PST, so Tuesday mid-night (the one after USA Tuesday close) will be Karachi's Wednesday noon, market could bounce strongly before Wednesday Dow opens! It could bounce 35+ points as easily as it had plunged (Timing: late Tuesay. Don't forget about Dow 15xx.)

So, the only good timing for shorting one last time would be before Tuesday US close. Support 1037, 1031, 1025. Market can get stalled at any of these support. Trade step by step.

Mid-day Update: Stop 1030-1030.75 buying bias, target 1047 testing.

[Result: Open 1035.75, high 1047, low 1030.75, close 1041.75]
