Weekly Report - Oct 26h to 30th '09

ES has taken a bit of a knock on Friday, but one should not jump into conclusions of the "big one" just yet. It is only normal profit taking at this stage. Indicators on the 60mins chart do show a bounce potential, but 1078 will be key level. If prices stay below it, we can safely assume ES has moved to the lower price segment and will aim at 1062. That level if/when hit will be a lot more crucial going forward.

TF is also in soft landing mode on stall level just below 600, and could later drift to the strong support level (~594). Longer time frames also show that retracement target as key support which could trigger substantial selling pressure. Although a major retracement is due, we cannot say with any sort of accuracy whether the timing is right. We have all noticed a sort of double top and a return to the [500-513] range is in the cards, but we'll need to update our scenario as we go along (triple top ??)

EURUSD: we notice some exhaustion of the Euro, and a narrowing of the range which could lead to a breakout situation this week. The US$ should remain weak in the short term, and a lower time frame is recommended. We'll check 1.502 for support.
