Thanks Croc as always for posting the thread.
Looking forward to results from RTR early in the week.
Could be a lifting week for banking shares generally with several 'big guns'
reporting - here's hoping!!
MLC later in the week may be uplifting...there's always hope! Sooner
or later the holiday/hotel sector has to start some real recovery!

Don't be away for too long LW - we'll miss you!

MONDAYS FTSE PP

R2 4451
R1 4431
PP 4405
S1 4385
S2 4358

Ftse closed above R1 and gained 4.9 in the auction, a sign for Monday? US closed so no doubt they will put it where they want CAUTION! 2 day ftse chart targeting r1 unless we brk 4400 to tgt 4385 Fri gap up area! All down to the dow to hold 10620 tonight






WEEKLY FTSE PP

R2 4473
R1 4442
PP 4406
S1 4376
S2 4340

For next week I can see a pos test of 10500 on the dow if 620 goes, bearish ftse unless close above 4420, even then can only see 4450 as a tgt, weakness on dow will lead to 4360/70 being tested imho!

ThePlayboy - 15 Feb 2004 14:32 - 9 of 15

Updated 2/13 for Tuesday's market.
Key DOW Levels for 2/17
UP Above 10,660
DN Below 10,600

Follow-Through
Dow follows through, ends near session lows.

From prior commentary, "...Look for a continuation pattern to continue to develop tomorrow. Such a pattern will indicate continued strength. Otherwise, a break below 10,650 will likely make for an even steeper decline..."
The Dow held above the key 10,700 early in the session, but was not able to sustain the strength for long. The index broke below 10,700, sparking a day-long decline to the Close, making for a 66 point loss for the session, as seen in the 15 and 60 Minute Chart.

Looking at the Daily Chart shows the index is beginning to move back down within the wide, sloping trading range that has formed at the highs of the major uptrend. Should the index break below 10,600 tomorrow, look for a continuation toward the lower boundary of the range at around 10,500.

Otherwise, an upside break though 10,660 could fuel another push toward resistance.

Short Term Dow

Short term, the Dow has formed a tight, triangle consolidation at the lows of the 5 Minute Chart, which implies weakness tomorrow morning. Watch 10,620 down, and 10,640 up tomorrow morning for short term direction.

Medium Term Dow

In the medium term, we covered Shorts this morning at 10,720 for a 20 point loss. We then entered the market Long at 10,725, but the trade also stopped out. A Short entry was also entered at 10,625, but the trade also faltered.

We are now out of the market and will watch 10,600 down, and 10,660 up, with 20 point stops.

NASDAQ & S&P

The NASDAQ and S&P traded lower today, breaking key lower trend lines in the process. Look for signs of a continuation lower Tuesday. *

Summary

The Dow was not able to hold above 10,700 today, as the index broke through this level and traded lower for the day. The index will likely trade sideways at the lows before another move is seen. A break below 10,600 will spark a
continuation.

Melnibone - 15 Feb 2004 14:38 - 10 of 15

Looks like we agree on the Ftse range top at 4420/4422 TP. :-)

As posted last few weeks, I'm still looking for a test of
the 4330 area to try and see if we hold there or go all the
way back to the 4180/4200 area.

Just going to follow it, which ever way it goes.

Melnibone.
