S & P 500: 5/18/12  Lower closes yesterday for the S&P 500 and E-Mini S&P 500 futures once again.  The S&P’s have been in long-term uptrends but I don’t look to sell in their present areas unless the S&P’s close below 130000.  CALL FOR DETAILS!  The S&P’s have been trending lower since the beginning of April.  In summary, the S&P’s look to be in topping modes.  For additional customizable charts and quotes visit Markethead.com for a FREE, no-obligation 30 day subscription.  CALL FOR DETAILS AT (312) 277-0107 OR EMAIL ralexander@zaner.com

Judy Crawford’s S&P 500 futures Market Update (5/16)

Trading commodity futures and options involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for all investors. You should carefully consider whether trading is suitable for you in light of your circumstances, knowledge and financial resources.

S & P 500 FUTURES COMMENTS

JUNE E-MINI S&P 500:  The current wave down has exceeded projections suggesting an oversold market.  It has also reached previous support around 1325.00.  This current sell-off did some technical damage on the daily chart.  It violated the 100 day ma on Monday for the first time since the current bull move started.  Not a good sign.  Long term the monthly triggered a preliminary sell this month and the weekly violated the 20 day ma.  Long term the market is still in an uptrend.  Watching closely to short.  Closed 1328.25, down 5.75.

S & P 500: 5/16/12  HOUSING STARTS & PERMITS. CAPACITIY UTILIZATION. INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTION. Lower closes yesterday for the S&P 500 and E-Mini S&P 500 futures once again.  The S&P’s have been in long-term uptrends but now is at a critical area to hold, keeping me on the sidelines at this time.  I feel the 130000 for the S&P’s is a critical area to hold.  I’m expanding the critical area (in my opinion) to try and allow for any fakeouts.  The S&P’s have been trending lower since the beginning of April.  In summary, the S&P’s look toppy and are near critical areas to hold technically in my opinion.  For additional customizable charts and quotes visit Markethead.com for a FREE, no-obligation 30 day subscription.  CALL FOR DETAILS AT (312) 277-0107 OR EMAIL ralexander@zaner.com

S & P 500: 5/15/12  BUSINESS INVENTORIES. REAL EARNINGS. RETAIL SALES. CONSUMER PRICE INDEX. Lower closes yesterday for the S&P 500 and E-Mini S&P 500 futures again.  The S&P’s are still in long-term uptrends but now are at critical areas to hold just missing sell signals.  The S&P’s have been also trending lower since the beginning of April making their worst close since March 6th and close since February 6th with the 135000 area important to keep an eye on.  You can also watch 133275.  Meanwhile, the S&P’s have closed below 13500 at this time!  I am eliminating my buy signal for the S&P’s at this time.  In summary, the S&P’slook toppy and are near critical areas to hold technically in my opinion.  For additional customizable charts and quotes visit Markethead.com for a FREE, no-obligation 30 day subscription.  CALL FOR DETAILS AT (312) 277-0107 OR EMAIL ralexander@zaner.com

S & P 500 FUTURES COMMENTS

JUNE E-MINI S&P 500:  The 1, 2, 3 top formation I referred to last time on the daily has been confirmed.  The sell-off reached 1342.50 yesterday.  That is where the 100 day ma intersects on the daily chart.  It consolidated today.  This has changed the long term picture.  The monthly chart is now triggering a sell.  A buy triggered on the weekly just last week was already negated.  It is trying to hold at support but the uptrend since the Oct. 2011 low has been violated long term.  It could rally from this support near term.  It would be an opportunity to short.  Closed 1358.50, down 7.25.
