Market commentary for 10/02/2006
Good day!
Quarter is done. Morning action didn’t bring the move up what I expected. Despite of that we saw very narrow range action. Most of the day wasn’t tradable for the style what I use. Since I’m a breakout trade and without the trend I don’t trade, the Friday morning action was good time for patience training.
After the launch break indices lost the 15 min triangle pattern and all broke down. The QQQQ was weakest in that action and after 15 min base we saw move down. Same was with the SPY and DIA. On the daily charts you can see that the resistance area hold last week move up. Indices still have the resistance overhead on the weekly charts and from my eyes that will hold that area for this week.
Because of that the swing traders are still in the higher risk market and that will be the case until indices won’t form the daily pattern. On the 60 min charts you can see that consolidation area are still holding and we didn’t get the short signal. So my bias for the Monday is mixed and right now I will stick with the intraday moves. I believe that the weekly resistance will hold but that not mean we can go right away with the shorts, because we can see the daily/weekly consolidation at high, and we can see selling from resistance. Anything can happen, but the right now we don’t have clear signal for the any direction.

Watch list for 10/02/2006
IMPORTANT: Take only the opportunities that you really like and understand. Always enter a trade with a trading plan. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me. There is a much greater chance of success in your trading if you understand the trade. That is very important. Taking just a few trades is enough to be a successful trader. Overtrading is probably the number one reason new traders fail. I personally mostly take swing trades. Please remember to keep that in mind!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
