Emini S&P 500 September Futures
- We hit the next targets of 5601/04, 5611/13 and 5617/19, 5627/31, 5646/48 and now 5672/76 and 5705/07 last week. A new all-time high exactly here before prices unexpectedly collapsed to wipe out all of Wednesday's gains. We wrote: I would at least expect a sideways consolidation to develop, and in the very short term, further minor losses are possible (even likely).
- Still there is no sell signal, so I would not be comfortable in a short, but we could certainly dip as far as support at 5595/5585 at the start of the consolidation phase. Longs need to stop below 5575. Targets: 5605, 5615, 5625.
- However, a break below 5575 risks a slide to 5560/55 and even as far as 5520/10 is possible.
- A break above 5710, however, can target: 5714/15, 5720/21 and 5728/3
Nasdaq September Futures
-
Emini Nasdaq made a new all-time high exactly at the next target of 20950/21000 last week, but then unexpectedly crashed below support at 20770/690.

THIS DOES LEAVE A BEARISH ENGULFING CANDLE ON THE DAILY CHART
-
On Friday, we initially broke first support at 20430/390 but recovered from 20335.
-
A break below here this week targets 20250/240. This could hold the downside initially.
-
I would feel safer buying at 20100/20050 this week, with stops below 19970.
-
I would try a short at 20940/980 to see if a double top forms. Shorts need stops above 21050.
E-mini Dow Jones September Futures
-
Emini Dow Jones September futures beat the all-time high at 40350/360.
-
The weekly close above here should be an important buy signal for next week. We can target 40630/660 and 40710/750.
-
However, failure to hold above 40300 today risks a slide to a buying opportunity at 40050/39950, and longs need stops below 39850.
