ESU09 – E-Mini S&P (Last:1036.25)

The futures look like they are still on track for a predicted surge to 1053.00, although the bullish argument would weaken if they haven’t accomplished this by Friday.  Although the September contract failed to push past some key, late-August highs near 1038.00, most of the action took place close to those highs and well above the meatiest part of the supply zone beneath them. Night owls can try bottom-fishing at 1029.75, a midpoint pivot, using a stop-loss no wider than 1.00 point. If the trade works, consider taking partial profits or implementing a trailing stop as early as 1033.00. _______ UPDATE (1 a.m.): The pullback went no lower than 1030.75, missing our bid by a full point. Signs now point to a minimum 1040.00, or 1044.00 if any higher. Either can be shorted by scalpers using a very tight stop-loss, but you’ll be on your own thereafter.
