Today's Working Orders
Stocks...
DAX...10,770 is support. Sustaining and Closing below this level will lead to a sell off of a couple of hundred points.
11,000 was the tgt for this swing and is now resistance and the closing upside pivot.
Spu's...2060 is the low risk buy zone.
Nasd 100...I 'm looking to buy 80-100 point breaks if given the chance.
NBIX... unchanged on the week will be pivotal. By maintaining higher on the week this has the potential to trade close to 42, however failing to regain higher footing could lead to a break near 34.50.
Watch the early flow for signs of direction.
DIS...is starting to get overbought. I'd like to buy this between 95-97.
Bonds ...
30 Yr. Bonds...(H) 145.00 is support and the closing downside pivot. This is the qtrly pivot which held for the 7 point 6 week rally into the end of January.
FX...
AUD/USD...sustained price action above 78.10 is needed to turn the P&F higher.
AUD/JPY...92.41 is today's ORH# and the upside closing breakout level. Above, there are resting buy stops above 93.08 leaving way to 93.39.
GBP/USD...153.30 is support. 154.42 is today's ORH #.
EUR/JPY...is attempting an ORH day by closing over 135.57
Commodities...
OIL...
Natgas...2.88-2.95 is a zone to not buy strength into. I know we're living in Frost Bite Falls in the eastern half of the country, but the area can prove to be a bull trap. Let it play out.
Silver...needs a close above 17.40 resistance for a rally.
