CME - S&P 500 INDEX CASH– (JUNE) Daily Near Term Trend: Positive to Neutral Wednesday's Close: 1385.14 (- 5.70) Ways to Play this:

UPDATE: Four weeks ago, we stated, “If the market approaches the 1410.00 region I would expect that area to be the upper limit of this move, and a retrace toward 1360.00 to follow”. Subsequently, the market collapsed once it hit just above 1410.00, and then retraced down to 1358.00, before bouncing higher. We have been pretty much spot- on. In addition, I stated I would short the Index on a daily close below 1388.00- not before. We did that on April 9th as the market settled at 1382.00. We are currently short with a daily stop close only at 1402.40.
