Key WRB Price Action

3min All Session Chart - One particular key change in supply/demand was @ 1048am est in the ICE Russell 2000 Emini TF futures via actually a Long signal from our APAOR strategies.

As for my trading today, yeah, like yesterday I missed it while taking another break from trading. However, upon returning I was prepared to trade and captured a "trend continuation" signal as an intuition trade in reaction to that missed valid APAOR pattern signal.

By the way, had too many data problems with Emini TF while the other eminis seemed ok. Thus, tomorrow I will be trading the S&P 500 Emini ES futures again.

FYI - The above discussion is about one key WRB price action even though there were other key WRB price actions that occurred during the trading day that could be used to confirm entry signals, exit signals, profit targets et cetera.

Simply, knowledge of different types of key WRB's is what results in a complete understanding of the price action being traded as it is occurring in real-time.

Stocks Push Higher
Wall Street musters gains as investors welcome a better-than-expected corporate report from Goldman Sachs, but advance is limited.
By Alexandra Twin, CNNMoney.com senior writer
Last Updated: July 14, 2009: 5:40 PM ET

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Stocks gained Tuesday after a choppy session in which investors welcomed Goldman Sachs' better-than-expected results but showed caution ahead of all the quarterly reports due in the weeks ahead.

After the close, Intel (INTC, Fortune 500) reported earnings and revenue that fell from a year ago but topped estimates. The chipmaker also said that third-quarter revenue will top expectations. Shares popped 7% in after-hours trading.

The Dow Jones industrial average (INDU) gained 28 points, or 0.3%. The S&P 500 (SPX) index added 5 points, or 0.5%. The Nasdaq composite (COMP) edged up 6 points, or 0.4%.

Stocks rallied Monday after influential banking analyst Meredith Whitney said she was raising her view on Goldman Sachs (GS, Fortune 500). On Tuesday, Goldman reported a bigger-than-expected quarterly profit, setting the stage for a week of reports from the financial sector.

However, Goldman's report failed to do much for markets Tuesday. "Yesterday marked a big turnaround in sentiment regarding the financials and the stocks rallied," said Kenny Landgraf, founder and principal at Kenjol Capital Management. "So today you're seeing less of a reaction."

JPMorgan Chase (JPM, Fortune 500) reports Thursday and Bank of America (BAC, Fortune 500) and Citigroup (C, Fortune 500) report Friday. The sector as a whole is expected to see profits fall more than 50% versus a year ago, according to Thomson Reuters.

S&P 500 earnings are expected to have declined around 36% in the quarter, versus a year ago. However, what the corporations say about the second half of the year and the economic outlook will be critical.

After rallying 40% in three months, stocks have drifted lower over the last month. The second-quarter reporting period could provide the next catalyst for a move in either direction.

"Caution about earnings was reflected by the pullback over the last few weeks," said Gary Flam, portfolio manager at Bel Air Investment Advisors. "But as we move through earnings season and the results are for the most part in line or better than expected, investors will move back into stocks."

He said that toward the end of the third quarter, stocks are likely to see another decline, but ultimately finish the year 5% to 7% higher than where they are now.

Economic news will be in focus Wednesday. Reports are due in the morning on consumer inflation, manufacturing, oil inventories and industrial production and capacity utilization. In the afternoon, the minutes from the last Federal Reserve policy meeting are due.

Goldman Sachs: The financial leader said it earned $3.44 billion, or $4.93 per share, in the second quarter versus $2.1 billion, or $4.58 per share, a year ago.

Analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters expected net income of $1.73 billion or $3.54 a share.

Goldman, considered to be the healthiest of Wall Street banks during the downturn, benefited from strength in its fixed-income and trading businesses.

In other financial sector news, small-business lender CIT Group (CIT, Fortune 500) rallied Tuesday on bets that the strapped company will get government help.

Other company news: Dow component Johnson & Johnson (JNJ, Fortune 500) reported second-quarter earnings of $1.15 per share versus $1.18 a year ago. Analysts were expecting $1.11 per share, on average. J&J shares inched higher.

Dell (DELL, Fortune 500) shares slipped 8% after the company said late Monday that it expects to see a small decline in gross margins, a key measure of profitability. Dell also said it expects to report a slight increase in revenue when its second quarter ends at the end of July.

Market breadth was positive. On the New York Stock Exchange, winners beat losers seven to three on volume of 980 million shares. On the Nasdaq, advancers topped decliners five to four on volume of 1.89 billion shares.

Economy: Higher gas prices and increases in auto purchases and auto prices boosted June retail sales and wholesale inflation, the government reported.

June retail sales rose 0.6%. the Commerce Department reported. Economists surveyed by Briefing.com thought sales would rise 0.4%. Sales rose 0.5% in the previous month.

Sales excluding autos rose 0.3%, short of forecasts for a rise of 0.5%. Sales rose 0.5% in May.

The producer price index (PPI), a measure of wholesale inflation, jumped 1.8% in June versus forecasts for a rise of 1%. Higher gas prices played a big role in the rise. PPI rose 0.2% in the previous month.

The so-called core PPI, which strips out volatile food and energy prices, rose 0.5% after falling 0.1% in May. Economists thought it would rise 0.1%.

Bonds: Treasury prices fell, raising the yield on the benchmark 10-year note to 3.46% from 3.35% Monday. Treasury prices and yields move in opposite directions.

Other markets: In global trade, Asian and European markets ended higher.

In currency trading, the dollar gained against the euro and the Japanese yen.

U.S. light crude oil for August delivery fell 17 cents to settle at $59.52 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange.

COMEX gold for August delivery rose 30 cents to settle at $922.80 an ounce.

4:30 pm : Despite a lack of leadership, stocks were able to log modest gains following upbeat earnings announcements from Goldman Sachs and Johnson & Johnson and a mixed batch of economic data.

Goldman Sachs (GS 149.66, +0.22) unveiled earnings of $4.93 per share for the second quarter. Excluding a one-time preferred dividend, diluted earnings came in at $5.71 per share. The consensus was pegged at $3.54 per share. The better-than-expected results were helped by improvements in Goldman's fixed income, currency, and commodities segment, which generated record quarterly net revenues, and the trading and principal investments segment, which saw net revenue nearly double year-over-year.

Though Goldman's results were impressive, many had expected the company to top the consensus earnings estimate. Despite the firm's best-in-class status, many also question the sustainability of earnings from its trading and investments division.

The financial sector lagged for the entire session after showing leadership the day before. Financials closed 0.3% lower. Telecom (-0.7%) was the only other major sector to post a loss.

Pharmaceutical and health care products giant Johnson & Johnson (JNJ 58.23, +0.51) reported today better-than-expected earnings of its own by bringing in $1.15 per share. However, the Dow component didn't provide much leadership. Health care stocks advanced 0.4%.

Some health care stocks were weighed down by news that House Democrats proposed a bill to expand health benefits in a plan that includes a public health plan option to compete against private insurers. Managed care providers fell 0.8%.

Technology stocks, which collectively carry the heaviest market weight in the S&P 500, made a modest 0.3% gain. Dell (DELL 11.97, -1.05) weighed on things by stating it expects gross margins to decrease even though it expects revenue to make a slight sequential increase. Oracle (ORCL 20.63, -0.09) still expects its acquisition of Sun Microsystems (JAVA 9.17, +0.01) to be accretive to its adjusted earnings even though Sun believes fourth quarter losses could range from $0.16 to $0.06 per share, which would be worse than the loss of $0.01 per share that analysts currently expect.

Semiconductor stocks showed strength ahead of the latest earnings announcement from Intel (INTC 16.83, +0.34). The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index climbed 1.6%.

By climbing 1.5%, consumer discretionary stocks logged the best gains of any major sector. Their strength was owed to retailers, which climbed 1.6% in the face of mixed retail sales data.

Higher gasoline and auto purchases helped retail sales for June increase 0.6%, which was more than expected. However, when excluding autos, sales increased just 0.3%, which was less than expected.

In other economic news, the June Producer Price Index increased 1.8%. That was twice the increase that had been expected and was the sharpest jump since late 2007. Core PPI also increased more than expected by coming in with a 0.5% increase, which is the biggest jump since late 2008. The latest consumer price data is due tomorrow morning.

Businesses continue to pare inventories amid persistently weak demand. May business inventories fell a sharper-than-expected 1.0% in what was the ninth straight decline.

Trading volume was low even though there were plenty of news items to act as catalysts or cues for trading. Fewer than 1 billion shares traded hands on the NYSE this session. That's well below recent trends.DJ30 +27.81 NASDAQ +6.52 NQ100 +0.4% R2K +0.6% SP400 +0.8% SP500 +4.79 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 1497/1.88 bln/1125 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 2121/978 mln/891

3:30 pm : The equity markets are holding on to very marginal gains.

In the commodity space, natural gas was the primary leader this session. August natural gas contracts rose 5.2% versus a 1.2% gain in energy commodities. The contracts finished the pit trade at $3.43 per contract, just off session highs.

Crude oil futures did not provide support within the energy commodities. After hitting a session high early in the pit trade at $61.46 per barrel, crude contracts rolled over. The August contracts traded lower thereafter and broke right through the $60 per barrel mark. The contracts closed at $59.33 per barrel, down 0.5%.

Precious metals notched marginal gains this session.

Gold futures traded in positive territory for essentially the entire session. The August contracts closed with a minuscule gain, up fractionally at $922.80 per ounce.

Silver futures were able to close with a slightly better gain. After hitting a session high of $13.00 per ounce late in the morning, the September silver futures closed at $12.86 per ounce, up 0.5%. DJ30 +18.06 NASDAQ +2.91 SP500 +3.59 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 1427/1.54 bln/1188 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 1994/710 mln/970

3:00 pm : The Dow has made its way back into positive territory, while the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq have added a few points to their earlier gains.

Small-cap stocks and mid-cap stocks are outperforming on a relative basis as the Russell 2000 climbs 0.7% and the S&P 400 advances 0.5%.

House Democrats have introduced a plan to help reform health care, according to CNBC. Dow Jones reported this morning that a plan was expected to be released today. Health care stocks are holding on to a 0.3% gain.DJ30 +20.17 NASDAQ +6.06 SP500 +3.37 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 1411/1.39 bln/1181 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 1981/650 mln/972

2:30 pm : The market continues to chop in a fairly tight range, essentially moving in a sideways fashion over the past two hours. While the S&P 500 and Nasdaq hang onto slight gains, the Dow has just slipped into negative territory.

Financials continue to be laggards, as that sector has been lower for essentially the whole session, following an earnings report from Goldman Sachs (GS 148.35, -1.09) prior to the opening bell. We note that on Friday several large financial institutions are scheduled to report earnings, including Bank of America (BAC 12.87, -0.12), Citigroup (C 2.89, +0.11), and BB&T Group (BBT 21.46, -0.40).DJ30 -7.9 NASDAQ +2.1 SP500 +1.6 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 1374/1259/1223 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 1864/588.5/1074

2:00 pm : The broader market continues to move along with a fractional gain, but consumer discretionary stocks have managed to put together an impressive 1.3% gain. The advance by consumer discretionary stocks comes largely as a result of strength among retailers, which are up 1.2% in the face of mixed retail sales data.DJ30 -3.86 NASDAQ +2.19 SP500 +1.28 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 1363/1.16 bln/1211 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 1902/539 mln/1019

1:30 pm : The number of companies reporting quarterly earnings results will continue to increase over the next few days. Intel (INTC 16.66, +0.17) and Yum! Brands (YUM 36.17, +0.50) are scheduled to report their latest results after today's closing bell. Abbott Labs (ABT 46.34, +0.19) and Texas Industries (TXI 31.01, -0.94) are among the more widely-held companies scheduled to announce tomorrow morning.

With more earnings announcements on tap, some expect participants to be drawn in from the sidelines. However, many investors may continue waiting until more companies have reported before trading volume picks up. As such, trading volume remains relatively low as just over 1 billion shares traded hands on the NYSE Monday and fewer than 500 million have been traded on the NYSE thus far this session.DJ30 -1.89 NASDAQ +1.82 SP500 +0.91 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 1352/1.08 bln/1212 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 1901/499 mln/1005

1:05 pm : Earnings announcements from Johnson & Johnson and Goldman Sachs and a flurry of economic data would seemingly provide participants with trading cues, but the major indices have spent the entire session wavering listlessly.

Dow component Johnson & Johnson (JNJ 57.93, +0.21) and best-in-class Goldman Sachs (GS 149.39, -0.05) both announced earnings results for the latest quarter that topped Wall Street forecasts. JNJ's report has won it support, but Goldman was expected to top the consensus estimate and already made a strong run in the previous session, so some are selling the news to take profits. Shares of Goldman are gyrating as the broader financial sector is lagging with a 0.2% loss.

Personal computer giant Dell (DELL 12.06, -0.96) said last evening that it expects revenue to make a slight increase sequentially, but its gross margins are expected to decline. Fellow Nasdaq component Oracle (ORCL 20.68, -0.04) said that it still expects its acquisition of Sun Microsystems (JAVA 22.44, +0.09) to be accretive to its adjusted earnings even though Sun believes its losses for its fourth quarter will exceed the consensus estimate for a loss of $0.01 per share.

Several economic reports were issued this morning. Overall retail sales for June increased a stronger-than-expected 0.6%, but that was largely the result of gasoline and auto purchases. Excluding autos, retail sales increased 0.3%, which was short of expectations. Though the headline numbers showed a net increase, many shoppers remain reluctant to spend amid uncertain macro conditions and a diminished sense of wealth with the stock market still down more than 40% from its high in 2007.

Still, retailers are showing continued strength as they climb 1.4% this session and 15% for the year.

In other economic news, the June Producer Price Index increased 1.8%, which was twice the increase that had been expected and was the sharpest rise since late 2007. Core PPI increased 0.5%, the biggest rise since late 2008. Core PPI was expected to increase a fractional 0.1%. CPI data for June is due tomorrow.

Business inventories fell for the ninth straight month by posting a 1.0% decrease in May. They were expected to decrease 0.8% after decreasing 1.3% in April. DJ30 +7.48 NASDAQ +3.61 SP500 +2.64 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 1359/1.02 bln/1188 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 1923/475 mln/977

12:30 pm : After making their way to a respectable gain, stocks are on the backslide once again. The latest move lower has taken all three major indices back to the unchanged mark.

Treasuries are contending with sellers as well. In turn, the benchmark 10-year Note is down 20 ticks, which has lifted its yield up to 3.43%.

Commodities are making solid gains, though. That has the CRB Commodity Index trading 1.0% higher. Commodities have been showing strength for the entire session.DJ30 -3.86 NASDAQ -0.06 SP500 +0.04 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 1273/920 mln/1238 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 1775/428 mln/1116

12:00 pm : All three major indices have made their way to fresh session highs, but overall gains remain modest. Though advance has been broad-based, financials and telecom stocks are lagging noticeably.

Financial stocks are down 0.3% as participants move to take profits following the sector's 6% spike in the previous session. The decision to sell was made when Goldman Sachs (GS 148.63, -0.81) announced upside earnings results for the latest quarter. The upside results weren't necessarily surprising or better than expected since many had expected the outfit to top the consensus forecast. The "as expected" results effectively provided an excuse to sell the news of Goldman's announcement.

Meanwhile, telecom stocks continue to show weakness relative to the broader market as integrated giants like AT&T (T 23.49, -0.28) grapple with sellers.DJ30 +21.46 NASDAQ +3.69 SP500 +3.04 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 1348/850 mln/1132 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 1912/392 mln/962

11:30 am : Stocks have managed to make their way out of negative ground and back into positive territory.

The Dow is lagging a bit, though. Tech giants IBM (IBM 103.14, -0.48) and Hewlett-Packard (HPQ 37.04, -0.26) are weighing on the blue chip index. IBM is scheduled to report its latest earnings results on Thursday.

Not all of large-cap tech is showing weakness, however. Intel (INTC 16.59, +0.10) is up ahead of its earnings announcement, which is scheduled for this evening. Intel is helping provide leadership to other semiconductors, which are up 1.3% as a group.DJ30 +7.78 NASDAQ +1.93 SP500 +1.41 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 1337/738 mln/1123 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 1753/340 mln/1064

11:00 am : Stocks recently extended their losses, but have managed to lift off their session lows. Of the 10 major sectors in the S&P 500, only the consumer discretionary sector (+0.1%), industrials (+0.2%), and energy (+0.5%) are trading in the green.

Health care stocks (fractionally lower) are fighting to make their way back into positive territory. The sector has been undercut by weakness in health care suppliers (-0.5%), managed health care companies (-0.6%), and health care facilities (-0.7%) following news this morning from Dow Jones that House Speaker Pelosi said House Democrats will issue health care legislation today, despite concerns from some moderates. Dow Jones also reported that the Senate is not likely to embrace a plan to overhaul health care that would include a surtax on the wealthy to fund the plan.DJ30 -25.85 NASDAQ -6.16 SP500 -2.41 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 1104/610 mln/1300 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 1380/283 mln/1408

10:30 am : The equity markets opened higher, but have reversed into negative territory, showing modest losses.

Crude remains higher this morning, but well off morning highs of $61.46 per barrel. Currently, crude is 1.3% higher at $60.48 per barrel.

Natural gas opened near the unchanged line, but has risen sharply in recent trading and is leading the CRB Commodity index higher. Natural gas is currently trading 3.9% higher at $3.39.

The dollar was choppy this morning, but is near the flat line currently, while, along with most of the commodity complex, precious metals are higher. Both Aug gold and Sept silver are trending higher and are trading just off morning highs (Gold $927.80, Silver $12.98 ). Currently, gold is 0.3% higher at $925.40 per ounce, while silver is 0.9% higher at $12.90 per ounce. DJ30 -9.53 NASDAQ -3.34 SP500 -0.65 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 1091/441.5 mln/1199 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 1407/206.2 mln/1323

10:00 am : Business inventory data for May has just hit news wires. According to the latest statistics, business inventories decreased 1.0% in May. They were expected to decrease 0.8% after decreasing 1.3% in April. Business inventories have decreased for nine consecutive months.

Stocks haven't shown much reaction to the data, so the major indices remain in the red.DJ30 -17.76 NASDAQ -6.84 SP500 -1.42 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 954/288 mln/1260 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 1308/144 mln/1367

09:40 am : The major indices are off to a slightly positive start, but the underlying action is a bit mixed as roughly half of the major sectors trade with gains.

Energy stocks are making the most headway in the early going. As a group, energy stocks are up 0.8% after trading as relative laggards in the previous session. Energy's rebound has been helped by an upturn in oil prices; oil is currently up 1.5% to $60.60 per barrel.

Shares of retailers are being pressured, on the other hand. Retailers are down 0.7%, collectively, following rather disappointing retail sales data for June.DJ30 +19.12 NASDAQ +3.77 SP500 +2.73 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 1066/104 mln/976 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 1465/67 mln/1008

09:20 am : S&P futures vs fair value: +1.10. Nasdaq futures vs fair value: -5.50. Stocks look as if they will start the session in mixed fashion. Follow-through from the previous session's strong performance is being partly offset by the latest dose of economic data and the move by many participants to sell Goldman Sachs (GS) even though it posted better-than-expected earnings. A sharply higher-than-expected PPI reading for June isn't sitting well with inflation hawks, while weaker-than-expected retail sales data for June is reminding participants that the consumer isn't quite as strong as many would like. Even though Goldman Sachs posted richer profits than analysts had forecast for the latest quarter, Goldman's beat was widely expected since the company is considered to be the best in its class. Dow component Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) also reported better-than-expected earnings for its latest quarter, but traders have responded more positively to the announcement. Sun Microsystems (JAVA) stated this morning that it expects losses for its fourth fiscal quarter to exceed the consensus estimate, which calls for a loss of $0.01 per share. However, Oracle (ORCL) stated that it still expects its acquisition of Sun Microsystems to be accretive to adjusted earnings by $0.15 per share in the first full year after closing the deal. Dell (DELL) gave an updated outlook last evening; the company stated that it expects a slight sequential increase in revenue for its second quarter, but it expects a modest decline in its gross margins.

09:05 am : S&P futures vs fair value: -1.00. Nasdaq futures vs fair value: -8.50. Trading in Europe has taken on a positive tone, which has the continent's major indices trading appreciably higher. The DAX is currently up 0.8% amid news from Forbes.com that investor confidence in Germany, which is Europe's biggest economy, slipped in July. The decline followed eight months of increases, according to the report. Deutsche Bank (DB) and Daimler (DAI) are primary leaders in the German bourse. In France, the CAC is up 0.5% as BNP Paribas and Societe Generale show leadership. As for Britain's headline index, the FTSE is up 0.6% amid strength in metals and mining outfits Rio Tinto (RTP), BHP Billiton, and Xstrata. According to Reuters.com, British retail sales advanced in June as house prices fell. The reports seem to have helped feed the notion that the economy may be bottoming out. In other economic news, FT.com reported that inflation fell below the Bank of England's target rate for the first time in almost two years in June. In Asia, The MSCI Asia-Pacific Index closed 2.5% higher and Japan's Nikkei advanced 2.3%. Nissan (NSANY) surged amid plans to boost production capacity in China. Komatsu jumped following reprots that it returned to profitability in the latest quarter. In Hong Kong, the Hang Seng jumped 3.7%. HSBC (HBC) contributed the most to the rise. Other banks also showed strength. In mainland China, the Shanghai Composite tacked on 2.1%.

08:35 am : S&P futures vs fair value: +1.10. Nasdaq futures vs fair value: -1.80. Stock futures are gyrating following the latest earnings report from Goldman Sachs (GS), which posted better-than-expected earnings of $4.93 per share. However, upside results had been widely expected since Goldman is considered the best in its class, so many participants are selling the news. Economic data is also factoring into premarket volatility. The June Producer Price Index came in with a 1.8% monthly increase, which is well above the 0.9% increase that was widely expected and up from the previous month's 0.2% increase. Excluding food and energy, the June PPI increased 0.5% month-over-month. That topped the 0.1% increase that economists had expected. It is also up from the 0.1% monthly decline that was registered in May. Advance Retail Sales for June increased 0.6%, which bested the 0.4% increase that had been widely expected. Sales for the previous month were unrevised and stand at a 0.5% increase. Excluding autos, retail sales increased 0.3%, which is short of the 0.5% increase that had been expected. Sales less autos for May were revised modestly lower to reflect a 0.4% increase. Business inventory data for May is due later this morning (10:00 AM ET).

08:00 am : S&P futures vs fair value: +4.30. Nasdaq futures vs fair value: +1.30. Premarket participants have bid stocks higher ahead of the June Producer Price Index, Advance Retail Sales for June, May Business Inventory data, and the latest earnings report from Goldman Sachs (GS). Meanwhile, Dow component Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) posted earnings of $1.15 per share for its latest quarter. Analysts had expected $1.11 per share. The company went on to confirm a fiscal 2009 earnings forecast that ranges from $4.45 to $4.55 per share, which brackets the current consensus estimate of $4.51 per share. Shares of JNJ are up 2.0% to $58.90 per share in premarket trading.

06:20 am : S&P futures vs fair value: +0.20. Nasdaq futures vs fair value: -1.30.

06:20 am : Nikkei...9261.81...+211.50...+2.30%. Hang Seng...17885.73...+631.10...+3.70%.

06:20 am : FTSE...4233.16...+30.60...+0.70%. DAX...4764.79...+42.50...+0.90%.
