Watch The Early Low’s

June 30, 2008 9:26 AM

I still believe there will be an attempt to reverse weakness early. We have Chicago PMI at 9:45 EST, so we should know direction pretty early. If we can hold 1280 area for time, the market could make a decent move here early. I still smell late selling, so be careful. I believe the Friday low was 1272.75. Even if we clear that we “could” reverse, not sure. If we clear it late into the close, the market is likely in big trouble.

    Its trying….this is playing out like i mentioned this weekend….9:45 may dictate early action

  2. Tom@StockBlade.com on June 30th, 2008 9:34 am

    I would wait here for the 1st 15 mins and see where we are…espeically with PMI out at that time…

  3. Tom@StockBlade.com on June 30th, 2008 9:35 am

    Ha….there is the strength i was looking for…1284.50

  4. Tom@StockBlade.com on June 30th, 2008 9:36 am

    If we can clear and hold 1285.25 after the PMI, i think we will make a push higher

  5. Tom@StockBlade.com on June 30th, 2008 9:43 am

    You can see the caution near 1285…

  6. Tom@StockBlade.com on June 30th, 2008 9:50 am

    PMI was 49.6, far ahead of estimates….the market is trying to reverse off the highs…not sure yet

  7. Tom@StockBlade.com on June 30th, 2008 9:56 am

    Hmmm…this is getting dicey

  8. Tom@StockBlade.com on June 30th, 2008 9:58 am

    Not good, we cleared 1380…we need to stay above that for a variety of reasons, todays high is important

  9. Tom@StockBlade.com on June 30th, 2008 10:04 am

    I am still not certain if we are going to melt down, wait for a reversal off a low to be long, todays high is very important

  10. Tom@StockBlade.com on June 30th, 2008 10:15 am

    Ok, we have a battle between todays high and low…if we can close out 10:30 above 1382 or so, i believe we will take out the high

  11. Tom@StockBlade.com on June 30th, 2008 10:21 am

    come on, get up there…

  12. Tom@StockBlade.com on June 30th, 2008 10:26 am

    I believe todays low on the SP cash was close to a trendline…thats why I had to wait and wait if it held…it did…thus far

  13. Tom@StockBlade.com on June 30th, 2008 10:28 am

    If 1385.75 clears before 10:30 it should explode to the upside, but doubt that will happen

  14. Tom@StockBlade.com on June 30th, 2008 10:30 am

    I doubt we will clear 1381-1382 to the downside here

  15. Tom@StockBlade.com on June 30th, 2008 10:33 am

    Its backing off the high….have to wait here

  16. Tom@StockBlade.com on June 30th, 2008 10:34 am

    they just said this would be the worst June since 1930….ha

  17. Tom@StockBlade.com on June 30th, 2008 10:40 am

    There were shorts at 1285.50 for sure…it shot down 2 points…if we can get over the high in the next 5 mins, those shorts should cover

  18. Tom@StockBlade.com on June 30th, 2008 10:43 am

    hmmmm we HAVE to clear the high…

  19. Tom@StockBlade.com on June 30th, 2008 10:44 am

    The longer the high stands, the more nervous the market may become….we need to get over it

  20. Tom@StockBlade.com on June 30th, 2008 10:47 am

    ok, if we clear the high before 11:00…I expect some short covering…
    if if if….

  21. Tom@StockBlade.com on June 30th, 2008 10:53 am

    hit the high on the nose…

  22. Tom@StockBlade.com on June 30th, 2008 10:54 am

  23. Tom@StockBlade.com on June 30th, 2008 10:55 am

    Bingo, new high

  24. Tom@StockBlade.com on June 30th, 2008 10:56 am

    I cannot imagine we wont go higher here, inless there is something i do not see…

  25. Tom@StockBlade.com on June 30th, 2008 10:56 am

    2 point pop, thus far

  26. Tom@StockBlade.com on June 30th, 2008 10:58 am

    new high…1288

  27. Tom@StockBlade.com on June 30th, 2008 10:59 am

    we may have issues near 1290.50-1291…

  28. Tom@StockBlade.com on June 30th, 2008 11:00 am

    1288.75

  29. Tom@StockBlade.com on June 30th, 2008 11:00 am

    boy that worked as planned, be more cautious on new highs…

  30. Tom@StockBlade.com on June 30th, 2008 3:19 pm

    Man this is boring

  31. Tom@StockBlade.com on June 30th, 2008 3:25 pm

    this is the slowest action i have seen in a longgggg time here…I suspect all the traders believe we have to go lower…eventually…and nobody wants to buy

  32. Tom@StockBlade.com on June 30th, 2008 3:43 pm

    Hmmmmm i still believe there may be selling into the close…not sure…the ONLY low I like is todays low…be careful into the close…

Got something to say?
