Wednesday’s Futures Setups
With the lack of any
market-moving news and light volume, the broader index futures gave
in to some profit-taking. Both the Sept. S&P 500 futures and Nasdaq 100 futures
retested their 50-day moving average, a key support level. The Sept. S&P 500
(SPU2)
closed lower by 9.30 to 939.70 just above the -1.0 Volatility band. The
Nasdaq 100 (NDU2)
traded in a choppy pattern and ended lower by 7.50 at 1030 just above the 50-day
moving average.Â

Please note that
while there are strong trends in some commodities, one bar or a series of bars
forming a setup can sometimes indicate a contra move for the next day. This
contra move may not be long-lasting — maybe only for a day or two. Trading
with the main trend is always the highest probability trade.
Use stops on all your
trades.
