Dow Closes Above Resistance

DJIA +288.87, +1.81% SP500 + 24.77, +1.81% NASDAQ Comp. + 61.14, +2.61% Russell 2000 + 13.07, +1.85% The DJIA broke through and closed above horizontal resistance on Friday while the S&P closed at resistance. The Nasdaq Composite and Russell 2000 both closed several points below horizontal resistance while clearly in the area of resistance. The markets are still clearly in the area of resistance and can either continue moving higher on Monday or pause after Friday’s big rally.

If the DJIA breakout holds look for the other indices to follow. Also the Dow chart pattern is forecasting a price target of 13,750 if this is a successful breakout.

Many individual stocks had large moves on Friday. Friday’s Action

Anyone notice that some companies are posting short earnings periods like JASO and RRC. Others that seem tight are DECK, ELN, GRMN, AGU. What do you all think about buying stock on signals with earnings in the next few days(ie. FSLR flag, DECK pullback)? Last observation: A few steel stocks are showing MACD divergence;SCHN, AKS, MTL.
