Market Update - Oct 30th '09

Yestersday's bounce was a little stronger than anticipated, but took ES to Fib/MM level so we got the signal and target, even though we did not capture the effect of volatility. It has been said many times on this blog and elsewhere, that volatility is essentially a time compression variable which is not easy to capture in TradeStation.
ES is now back to the top of the price segment which is a strong resistance level. We've seen EntBin moving from extreme low (-5) to extreme high (+5), indicating volatility and hesitation for this last day of the month. We'll check a lower time frame and Fib levels from yesterday's swing.
The same applies to TF where a lower time frame is here more than recommended. Yesterday's bounce should fade pretty fast, and lows will be tested again some time next week.

EURUSD: airhole effect could take prices back to 1.479 then 1.477 within a couple of days. However a "airhole" does not mean in any way a sudden drop. It is rather a congestion period leading often to a breakout situation.

More on the next weekly report.
