Intraday Commentary ~ 07/21/2010

I want to end below 106.80 for more conviction into tomorrow on the SPY… just bought some SRS at 27.05 with a stop at 26.92, We’ll see where that goes

——3:40pm, moved stop up to 27.10, to make sure i’m making a profit.

2:46pm
107.20 SPY did hit like i mentioned it would. Since it hit the conviction from the bears has not been strong enough. The bears have to break 107-107.20 to get more cofirmed downside into tomorrow to reach 106.10-106.20.

2:03pm
Bernanke: Outlook of the Economy remains unusually uncertain.

With that the stocks tumble away from the inverse H&S formation that we had on the 10 minute. My belief is a break of 108 could end this rally and shove us back down to 107.20 by the end of the day. A break back above 108.65 will be bullish.

AAPL 10 minutes has reversed about an hour ago, but more importantly it is about to reach it’s 38.2% retrace for today’s action (from open to low). If it breaks it to the upside, ($259.60), i think it is ready to rally quite  a bit. 259.60 is also a great place to go short with a stop above that retracement, or above the 50% retrace:

11:18am
It looks like today is the perfect opposite of yesterday. The bears are basically forming the exact patterns that the bulls did yesterday. A gap up in the morning reversed, and now breaking important levels downwards. After 108 breaks, 107.20 is support.

11:05am
SPY 1 minute action suggests that we do continue to move lower currently. There is a very easy way to know how strong the day is. If the SPY makes higher lows and higher highs throughout the day, you have to remain bullish, but today we are constantly making some lower lows and lower highs, so the momentum is remaining bearish for now.

10:58am
AAPL opens today RIGHT AT $265… which is the resistance caused by the left shoulder of the H&S formation. If $265 is the top, then we might have a symmetrical H&S formation with the neckline still at 243.

10:51am
Sorry I had a meeting this morning. However, let’s look at the SPY 60 minute, we can see that we opened right at channel resistance, that’s why we sold off so vigorously in the morning. That said, the fact that we are touching channel resistance another time without touching the channel support is very bullish. As lon gas we remain above 108 today we can actually break that channel resistance at the end of the day:
