ES Friday 8-7-15

Good morning to all. Thursday was a large down day with us finally breaking below the 2074.75 level. Will the market continue it's move downwards or is it going to bounce back into the balance area? As of now the markets look rather weak. The next important level on the downside is the previous swing low of 2056.75 as noted on the chart below.

Greenies: 2123.5, 2118.75, 2112.75, 2104.25, 2090, 2086.75 2077 and 2067.25



Profile: At first glance, Thursday's profile looks like a liquidation break with all the longs getting caught. The price action today should help guide us on whether the market continues going down or sees a bounce over here. The VPOC and POC are both very close to the balance area low of 2074.75 so that tells me at least there is someone out there trying to defend this level. Their success is TBD. We also see that Thursday was a double distribution day with single prints in the A and D periods. The sellers would first like to see the D period single prints defended and then the A period ones. They would not like these to be covered up today else the shorts are going to start squeezing hard and add fuel to the fire.



On the split profile we can see that the M period high was at 2080.75 and that is where the D period single prints start. So the sellers would like this level be defended or we will start seeing the first round of short squeeze pushing the markets towards 2089.75 where the A period single prints start.

Obviously Thursday's low is going to be important level to the downside and as long as the references mentioned above are defended, there is a high probability of that low being taken out and the market hurtling downwards. There is not much from a references point of view on the downside so the action could be pretty dramatic.



The O/N inventory is net short but not by a whole lot. It looks pretty even. With the jobs report coming out early this morning let us see how the market reacts to it on RTH open. The O/N action was all in YD's range which makes YD's low that much more important.

Good luck to all
