6E - notice the reaction off 3.16 ... not mom and pop. ----- watch the Japanese yen ... flat fter steep losses

ES 5 min

---Europe rose like the phoenix... get up FIJI.  1397's bid after the 87.25's were probed... bonds off highs.... COPPER retraced its early losses... asia firmed. All eyes on Q1 GDP @ 8:30 am ET.

still over the up trend at 1393.50-94.. though not by much..below we fall to 1390, the afternoon break out level...

1 min ES

long signal over 740 trigger with AH prints over 740.. 774 highs to possibly be tested if this breakout holds...

1 hour PCLN

15 min goog

broke out over 610.. tested 610 .. held.. took off.. now set for 620 + .. the apple/goog trade still working.

1 min ES ..

A mixed open has resulted in a mixed cash session with the ES hanging onto the 1388 level with 1385 being support and 1282 the lower support level.. below we could see 1378 easily.. above 1388 1390-95 in store..

The euro is perking up a bit after the currency made a 3 week high against the dollar in early morning hours.. because of this we saw crude oil spike to near 105.. which was my target from last night in the trade for prof.it forum.. come by, it is free.

Gold and silver are bid as well... copper strength overnight was possibly due to strength in the Asian exchanges.. if anything you coud have used this information to formulate a future opinion on the the US commodity session.

30 min CL - notice the 105 level... if taken out........ 105.50

.. support 104.2-50

The markets are fairly quiet with a slight bullish skew as the DX moves lower and the nasdaq inches higher into 2710...... the 2700 - 2725 channel is important.. wait for a signal break out or down...

tomorrow the ES will probably be within the box

ES seems as if it wants 1390 just because who else is counting? .. euro remains over support over 1.322...

makes lemonade when the charts are pointing higher... anyway the ES pinch @ 1375 paid you 11 handle into 1386.25's.. the pinch in NQ @ 2690 paid 10 handles into 2705. keep it simple.

15 min ES

15 min NQ

Expect a breather into the afternoon.. and a slow grind.. with profit taking coming into the last hour of the day... plus FOMC announcement at 12:30 pm ET will also inject volatility.

The 1377 level gave way into a conversion of 1380.. highlighted in chart below is the pinch point at 1375.50. Support remains 1375. (blue line)

Though the real story is in the NQ which needs to get over 2690 to covert 2700... 2725 will signal a reversal in my opinion.. machines are watching.. they love day's like today.

The ES held up fairly well throughout the session... 1363's were tricky but they held.. now 1365 support with 1371 resistance.

5 min ES

As for the nasdaq.. a small break out over 2635 ensued as the cash market closed...if apple performs well we could see 2650.. if not 2620 or below.... BIDU already dropped 10.... NFLX already factored in from this morning... the ball is in apple's court. 

both released at 10 am... the S&P 500 still has 1370 in it's sights with a 1374 target if 1370 trades with conviction. below 1368 we have 1365 as support down to 1360-1355. Commodity markets are telling us risk on today. so far that is... lots of 10 am numbers today...

IF 1350 trades and fails... 1340 is next line of defense.. this slow grind down today is the type which can grind you up.. best to step back and let the meat grinder mill pink slime while you wait.

Below is the NQ.. all major supports taken out.. 2630 is lowest level since first week of March.. below 2630 means we test 260.. the 'big' break out level which was the index was carried on the back of apple from 500 to 644.

another day of huge ranges for no real reason but the fact apple is not holding firm. I highlighted in my chat earlier apple looked heavy over 595. sure enough it failed into 584, very simple set up.

Goog 5 min

Shares of google pegged 600 though did not fail, if you remember yesterday i mentioned it felt like google was a bit more resilient than apple given their nearly identical share prices.
