Some Minor announcements today, especially the Case-Shiller HPI, which is probably the most accurate of the housing news sources.

The market stayed well above the 89 period SMA today, so I restricted myself to long trades. There was one beautiful trade that started around R1 and blasted through R2, and that was really it for the day. I took a couple of long trades hoping the market might break out some, but nothing really materialized, and I exited the trade with small gains.

The news on the housing starts is already out, along with jobless claims.  The housing starts were at a nine month high, but jobless numbers fell 12,000 to 545,000.  That’s still an awful lot of people out of work this week.

ES Emini Contract Trading for Wednesday

The Decision Bar software kept me long through some early morning pullbacks, and I was happy to oblige. I considered adding to my positions on some pullbacks, but decided against it. Only had one other notable trade for a 12 tick gain. Interesting day to trade.

Notice how the market never really decided to advance, in a decisive manner, past R2

Looks like a full slate of interesting announcements in the next two days. I am particularly interested in the employment data tomorrow. Industrial Production and PPI on tap today as we see how well we are steering through the later stages of this recession.

Ben Bernanke Speaks

Should be a day loaded with all sorts of potential surprises, culminating with Bernanke speaking at 10 a.m.   I would be mindful, early on, of the potential volatility in the market as it digests a wide range of economic data.  Of course, the question on everyone’s mind is a simple one, where are we in this recession?
In the early going, the consumer spending numbers have been pretty positive.

Should be an interesting day, a few semi-important announcements that have the potential to effect the market.  Of course, you never know what announcement may send the market spinning away.  It didn’t used to be that way….oh, well…
