Was the 1006 a pivotal number?????



Well we didn't attack the 78.6% level at 1010 today but we did tick that 61% 1006.50 on the futures, remember we only hit is cash yesterday.

AB=CD is @ 988.50 and I have a projection @ 984.25.

Today there was a easy trade of the broke of 1000 on the short side which would have netted at least 6 handles easily. We are getting alittle noise bleed here in the markets and Nasdaq under performing the last two days make be on pause on the long side.

S&P 500

S&P 500 Corporate defaults up over 300% to 9.38% compared to the same time last year.

Hmmmm

How are we going to dig ourself out???

FDIC seems to be in trouble or running on fumes

One more bank failure but this will be the largest:

Guaranty (GFG) could be soon seized by the government in what would be the biggest bank failure in a year that has already had 64 of them. Last week, the bank warned investors to expect a federal takeover after regulators forced a writedown of its risky mortgage investments and a bid to raise new capital failed.


Late start- But Bingo again

Late start to the day for me. Two hours left but notice the 1006 was the exact top of today's market (1007 on the cash). That's a very important level indeed and we will see for the rest of the week if we start to develop this area as a POC (Point of control).

Will update some charts tonight and post.

S&P 500

Looking that the possibilities here wave structure wise we are forming a number of overlapping waves which leads to confusion. Watch that 1006 level tomorrow or overnight tonight as I have 1005.25 as the 361.80 projection from thursday's swing low.
Let me see what happens tomorrow and gauge the volume on this move made today since it was a gap and go.

Do you get a turn around tuesday or a real rejection @ 1006. One thing to note today on the futures, the big guys weren't participating, is this our early red flag.

Crude

Oh man I really suck I only called Crude within 9 cents of today's top a day before :)
Well lets take another technical look at it. The 72.20 I looked back on my charts was the 261.8 fib extension the move down by where we took profit on that short play. The next meaningful number I have is 73.16.
