Market Analysis for Jan 18th, 2005
The enclosed 3-session 15 minute chart of the E-mini March S&P shows that the index
is consolidating at the top of today's range, but below the
critical resistance plateau at 1195-1197. The action during the
past 2 hours has the look and the feel of a high level intraday
congestion area-- or bull flag formation-- which should resolve
itself to the upside in a thrust to new intraday highs at 1198 to
1200. My optimal target zone for the completion of the current
upmove is 1200-1205. Only a decline that sustains below
1189 will wreck the near term upside potential of the current
pattern.
