Market Showing Weakness

Markets down in Europe and Asia this morning and U.S. market gapping down almost 10 points.

Jobless claims came in better than expected, but market failed to see much of a bid after the news. Will be important to see if buying can come back into the market today. I like selling the up-ticks today in anticipation of trading down to at least 1305-1306. I will be looking to buy the market in the lower 1300s and expect the 1299-1301 support to hold if the ES trades down there. Remember, be careful when buying a market that is selling off. Wait for support to confirm before trying to guess a bottom.

Levels to watch today on the ES:

Resistance above at: 1313-1314, 1320-1322
Support below at: 1310, 1305-1306, 1299-1301, 1295-1296
