Like a bouncing ball on a downhill!

Like a bouncing ball on a downhill, equities have bounced hard after repeated selloffs but the general momentum remains downward.

With Consumer Price Index (CPI), Retail Sales, Initial Jobless Claims & Consumer Sentiments numbers coming out this week, markets are likely to be jittery. Any downside surprises could spur a sharp reaction downwards.

The S&P 500 E-mini Futures have been trading in a descending channel since March with current prices trading near the channel resistance. Additionally, prices have been rejected off the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level twice.

The strong technical resistance levels as well as potential negative economic data surprises in the coming week warrant a short position over the short term.

Entry at 3842, stops at 4025. Target at 3645 & 3500.
