Watch Monday’s support low for a potential break of support. If support holds what for a potential follow through of Monday’s inside day and confirmation of the bullish harami. If support breaks look for price to fall to the next support level.

Good morning Dave!

Thank you for your market coverage and guidance-

You are the voice of reason in my head, in the sometimes turbulent waters of the market! (Hey...I just made that up.. do you like it...?)

Have a great morning!

Dave,

Great ATA Capstone last night. It really helped me stay calm and prepare for today. Lots of stocks are at support levels--it will be interesting to see if they bounce and provide great flag opportunities, or break down. I'm ready for either. ZION rewarded my patience on an intermediate term trade with earnings this morning; X is testing my mettle and ability to stick with my plan on an intermediate term trade despite an earnings miss this morning (but I'm doing it :) ).

Thanks,

Brian
