Hello Traders,

We have a day full of reports tomorrow and SP500 is sitting against resistance at 1275. I would treat this as a pivot point, i.e. if we break and close above it based on the hourly chart, then there is a chance for another leg up. On the flip side, failure to do so may open the door for a pull back. To be honest I do not have a strong feeling one way or the other. My advice when this happens is PATIENCE! Let the market develop and provide you with clues.
Once you know how you want to attack the market, devise a plan and then execute the plan that you made while you were calm and not under market pressure OR in simple words, plan your trade, trade your plan.

Hello Traders,

Somewhat of an intraday reversal we witnessed in the mini SP 500 today and market closed
ABOVE yesterday’s high which is a semi bullish signal
and puts the next target for the SP500 at 1375.

 

Another market that caught my eyes today is the Euro currency. I am getting a small buy signal as well for the Euro with possible targets at 123.96 and 125.34 and stop somewhere below the recent low of 121.71 ( 121.35?) in case I am wrong. If I am wrong and the market does take out the recent low, we may see another leg down before this market bounces.

Hello Traders,

We saw some volatility in the markets today and swings on both sides. I expect more volatility during tomorrow’s session, which MOST day-traders like. Remember to adjust your trading size LOWER as volatility gets HIGHER….

Below is a daily chart of the mini Russell 2000 contract.
Tomorrow is Friday the 13th…I think if we take out today’s lows, the door will open for a more serious downside move.
