AS I SEE IT: Overnight the market was lower and this morning when our regular trading session opened the E-mini S&P rallied a few points before turning quickly lower. The E-mini S&P went down for a half hour, exactly to yesterday’s low and then turned higher. During the next two and a half hours it rallied before trading sideways to a little lower.

The market continues to hold up in the short term as traders are still buying the dips. The E-mini S&P closed today 9.75 points below Monday’s open. Volume continues to be very light as investors and traders hold off from making large bets. For me, resistance is above today’s high and support is below today’s low. The E-mini S&P had both a double bottom and a double top at those prices today.

Listening to President Bush today it sounds to me like he might hit some targets in Iran before long. What’s that going to do to this $110.00 dollar Oil price? The market has slowed down a little but I believe there will be a big price move soon.

I HOPE YOU MADE MONEY TODAY!

Have as much fun trading as I do!
