Emini S&P March Futures

  • Emini S&P remains in an erratic and random sideways consolidation with no pattern or trend to guide us.

  • We can only try to scalp short-term levels for a quick turn.

  • A low for the day at support at 6030/20 and longs hit the target of 6060/6070.

  • Try this trade again today, but longs need to stop below 6010.

  • A break below 6010 meets support at 5990/5980 and longs need stops below 5970.

Targets: 6000 and 6010

  • A break below 5970 risks a slide to 5940/35 for profit taking on any shorts

  • Minor resistance at 6110/20.

  • A break above the 1 week high of 6123 can retest the all-time high at 6156/62.
