which was 120.67. There was also a continuation short entry below all of the 20,
60 and 240 EMAs with entry below 120.33. The SPY traded down to 119.75 on the
12:35 p.m. bar before trading to 120.18, then down to an intraday low of 119.73.
This new low created an RST buy entry above 119.85 with entry on the 3:35 p.m.
bar, and the SPY traded to 120.18, closing at 120.15. You had the necessary
information going into Friday’s trading to anticipate any potential intraday
reversal and were alert to play any good intraday short setups going into this
time period and that’s exactly what you got. The SPX

OIH +2.2% and XLE +2.3%. NYSE volume fell off to 1.28 billion shares with the
volume ratio 34 and breadth -388. The QQQQs and SPY closed just above their 34
EMAs (120-minute chart), which are 38.05 and 119.84, while the DIA (“523 Trend”)
went negative, closing below its 34 EMA for the third straight day at 104.72 vs.
104.89.
I consider, as you sequence traders are aware,
the 120-minute chart to be the long-term intraday trend, so 34 EMA retracements
become a two-way focus this week. The Nasdaq closed at 2071.43 vs. the 34 EMA at
2067.57, so that, too, is an early downside alert line on Monday.
The

is at the top of its eight-month trading range from 34.95 – 29.66. It closed at
35.11 on Thursday and 34.82 Friday after making a new rally intraday high of
35.23. The SMH has already rallied +17.9% low-to-high in 34 days, which is also
a Fibonacci number on the 06/03/05 key time date. The 34 EMA is 34.44, and the
five-minute chart early downside focus is 34.78, which is Friday’s intraday low
and just below the 240 EMA of 34.80. This corner will not buy the breakout of
that trading range this week and would wait for any retracements if it does. You
should always be aware of the “523 Trend” levels, in addition to early alert
five-minute chart levels when you make your daily trading plans.
Have a good trading day,
