S&P DOW Futures 17th Oct 09 Weekly

S&P Monthly

3rd Quarter thrust pattern from July 50% resulted in a breakout of the 3-month cycle in July.

A breakout in the 3-month cycle normally moves into a 3-month breakout pattern until this start of the next 3-month cycle in October.

There was an expectation that price had to come down into the 3-week lows early in October and then complete the break and extend pattern @ 1092.

Normally when these cycles complete price will move into a rotation pattern looking for the monthly 50% levels.

Sure the market can go higher, but at this stage I'm treating the Global Equity markets as range bound around upper resistance levels until November.

Set-up B is most likely with a rotation into the monthly 50% level in November and then higher moves into in the end of the Year.

SET-UP A is less likely to occur but it can happen because the monthly 50% level is currently much lower


DOW S&P Weekly

Next Week is simply a view of price being range bound between the Weekly 50% levels, and maybe travel as high as the Weekly highs.

Any moves during the week will be based on using the support or resistance levels within the 5-day pattern.

Bearish patterns around these October highs, will need to be verified with a Friday close below the Weekly 50& levels.

If price is trading below the Weekly 50% levels, then traders need to keep in mind that SET-UP A might be happening.
