Cue Jaws Theme 9/6/12

Welcome back, Stoolies! Time to get back to bidness.

Seems this morning that all are waiting in trepidation for something. Bulls are terrified that Friday’s double bottom will drop out. Bears are equally terrified that it will hold and trigger a massive short squeeze.

The market isn’t tipping its hand yet this morning after 3 hours of European trading. The euro crowd is waiting on the merkins to send smoke signals across the pond.  Even the hourly oscillators are stuck on dead neutral.

So we key on the resistance and sport levels. To get anything going on the upside at all, the boyz must drive the ES, S&P 500 24 hour futures, well clear of the first resistance area, 3961 – 3966. If they did that, they could pop to 4015 and set up a bigger bottom for a more sustained rally if they hold it together early this week.

Sport levels to watch on the downside are 3928-3920, and 3910. Take those out and the ball could start bouncing down the steps. It probably wouldn’t be straight down at first. Too many sport lines that would trigger short covering on the way.
