21.5.2009

Thursday, 21 May, 2009

 

Overview:

Big volume on an intra-day reversal day gives some pretty bearish price action.  Weakness was lead by financials; I have taken bearish financial positions accordingly.  Although SP500 held 900 I think there is reasonable argument for further weakness for the rest of the week.

Support at 875 resistance at 950

Support at 875 resistance at 950

Stock Trades:

 

FX Trades:

USDJPY fallen off sharply – missed a great entry point.  Will decide over the day whether to enter into the trade or risk further fall in prices for a potential pull back.
