S&P 500 Emini Day Trading Gap Wednesday January 13, 2010

S&P Emini 500 Futures gapped down 7.75 points this morning.  The gap never filled and is the first overhead gap in quite a few weeks.  Seven unfilled gaps lie beneath the current price range, and leaves open the possibility of a correction to those levels.  Today’s down market on good volume is a clue as to longer term direction.   Prices are coming off of overbought conditions in all time frames.  Look for initial testing of the 1100 level if declines continue on heavy volume.  If prices turn back to the upside, look for a test of 1150.  A break above that level on volume would indicate a continuation of the up trend.  For day traders, the return of volatility to the market is welcome.
