Symmetry is a guide (not a RULE) and we already made a lower high and then a higher low - trade off support and resistance especially when dealing with leveraged instruments - those demand zones on SPX and QQQ were objective areas with stops below secondary lows.   Turned out to be Money

I suggested a lower risk entry at those DEMAND ZONES  holding above secondary lows to attack those highs - which unfolded on the back of AAPL and Monthly payrolls.

Layed it out the past few days - as long as the secondary low held for SPX and QQQ  market structure says run the recent highs which is what transpired.  Review all posts. 

Weak PMI and Higher Prices on the ISM Non-Mfg - thus a quick pull

USA ISM Non-Manufacturing Prices For April 59.2 Vs 55.0 Est.; 53.4 Prior

USA ISM Non-Manufacturing PMI For April 49.4 Vs 52.0 Est.; 51.4 Prior

Held secondary levels  and attacked those highs 

10 Y Yields and USD spike down 

VIX smash 

Nonfarm Payrolls (Apr) +175K vs +238K Est.

USA Average Hourly Earnings (MoM) For April 0.2% Vs 0.3% Est; 0.3% Prior

USA Unemployment Rate For April 3.9% Vs 3.8% Est.; 3.8% Prior

Here's how things look heading into this morning's jobs report per 

 consensus: High estimate +280k Low estimate +145k Average +234.3k Whisper number (chart) +243.5k

$VIX - Chart Link - shows remaining gap below 

Nicely done 

QQQ - Chart Link - same theme here with the secondary high just above 418

$SPX - Chart Link - Bulls are still holding the secondary high 4990 - unless broken they should attack yesterday's high.  AAPL and NFP will be determinant 

Quick Note: Our Water Heater busted overnight so slightly distracted here today.   Wild gyrations so remain prudent - levels and triggers

US INITIAL JOBLESS CLAIMS ACTUAL 208K (FORECAST 211K, PREVIOUS 207K

Held support and +35

SPX and QQQ decent bounce once again from demand overnight

It was released this morning - see earlier posts in early am
