expressway- Yes if
the 1597 - 1600 pivot is blown out then 1614 is the next pivot and
so on. Yesterday the SPX closed right on the 9 EMA and while
there were some bearish signs yesterday, we needed to lose that, as
long as the market or any stock is above its 9 EMA its obviously
quite strong. My comments were last night to look for a lower
high as a lower risk short, but obviously today the market was
strong all day and didn't provide that trigger unless you decided
to take a short at the back test of the wedge patter (discussed
below) but then you have the Jobs data to sit through. and
yes in answer to your question, the RUT and Tran are still weak.
Our simply rule is that if a big down candle is retraced more
than 50% the next day, then odds favor more upside
The bear wedge patterns played out from yesterday and hit their
initial targets where they have obviously bounced hard.
Currently the SPX is now back testing the broken wedge
trendline which is resistance as you can see on this chart.
Stochastics are overbought - tomorrows Jobs numbers will
likely create a gap in either direction
Otherwise the 60 min charts of the Russell 200 and Transports
are a lot weaker and lagging, especially the RUT
