it bounced off 269p again.
I'm going to get caught out on this one day when it
fakes a bounce and drops again, but until that happens
might as well keep taking the scalps. The Bears couldn't
manage to break these levels for more than 2 days back
in March when sentiment was the lowest it's been for over 3
years, so the odds are on my side in the current climate.

Getting interested, but I think there's some US and
European banks waffling today and tomorrow so it would
probably be prudent to wait for what they say and the
market reaction before jumping in again.
These days, when good inline statements come out, the market
seems to take profit on the old 'buy on the rumour sell on
the fact' strategy, and there's an aweful lot of profit
washing around in financial shares since the rises from March.

reaction was positive but muted.
Lehman Brothers gives an update next.

S@P has just bounced back of the 1074/1075 resistance area.
US Bulls have profit to take from yesterday's rises when the Bears
took theirs from the Monday drop from the open.
So, we've got the US at resistance, DAX and CAC down, and
the FTSE is up in the middle of the trend channel.
Unless the US breaks resistance there will be a sell off
this afternoon on the FTSE in my opinion.
The US will lead us by the nose as usual.

there seems to be a lot more trading going on this afternoon
then there was on Monday afternoon - clearing the 'decks'
before Christmas maybe????
Melnibone - 17 Dec 2003 15:22 - 26 of 33
FTSE is just cycling 5 points either side of 4355.
It needs to move below 4350 or above 4360 to give direction.
Maybe this is one of those days that TP mentioned, where the
US doesn't go anywhere until Europe closes and then makes its
move after about 1640 Hrs.
Trouble with this is, unless you guess the direction right
and take overnight positions on FTSE stocks, it just opens
up there tomorrow and you don't get to trade towards the supports
or resistances.

on the S@P.
If they want it to break through then the boys are
going to have to manipulate the DOW higher to drag it up.
I wonder what they want to happen?

stuck up against 1074.5.
No point in spoiling a profitable day by taking new
overnight positions on a guess.
Will watch for where the US closes tonight and work
out tomorrows plan later on.
Just going to watch now and keep my pot safe.;-)

R2 4385
R1 4369
PP 4351
S1 4336
S2 4318
Wed close above R1 after loosing 4.2pts in the auction! 2day ftse chart targeting 4385 (r2), brk of uptrend at 4350 back to 4330 imho!
Melnibone - 17 Dec 2003 18:54 - 31 of 33
Ftse is already showing 4335 on D4F quote.
If the decline continues we should have a nice
sea of red to cherry pick from tomorrow morning.
Trouble is, we're only talking about 3 points
on the S@P at the moment, not a lot in the grand scheme of things.
If this happens we should at least visit S2 at 4318,
which is only a hop from the 60 Day EMA at 4310.
Might as well test it if we get that close. ;-)
Come on USA, you know you really want to do it,
so why fight it? :-)

Have a good evening
D.
Melnibone - 17 Dec 2003 21:01 - 33 of 33
The best I'm likely to get now is S1 at 4336, and
I doubt I'll even see that, the way this market
is behaving.
Off to watch the 'Crooked Man' on ITV.
See you in the morning.
Melnibone.
