Emini S&P September Futures
Long positions at the key support of 5745/35 worked perfectly, as the market held above 5730 and rallied to 5755 and 5765, extending gains to 5783. If momentum continues, we could see a retest of the all-time high at 5820/30.
For the week ahead, support remains at 5745/35, with stops below 5730. A break below this level could target 5695/90, with further support at 5680/70. Longs at this zone should consider stops below 5660.
Nasdaq September Futures
We broke support for at 20250/150 to hit my next downside target and very strong support at 19900/800 with a low for the day exactly here.
We then shot higher to 20081.
If we continue higher look for 20150/200, perhaps as far as 20250/290.
Strong support again at 19900/800 – Longs need stops below 19700.
A break lower today however risks a slide to 19550, perhaps as far as strong support at 19400/300.

We wrote: I think gains in are likely to be limited in severely overbought conditions but there is definitely no sell signal and I will remain a buyer on any profit taking.
We did dip as far as support at 42350/250 as predicted and this did prove to be an excellent buying opportunity again but longs need stops below 42150 on a retest today.
Targets of 42500 and 42650 were hit immediately, meaning we caught the low and high for the day for the second day in a row.
A break lower this week however risks a slide to 42000/41900 and longs need stops below 41800.
