Futures Point to a Higher Open...
Dave is in Boston teaching a 60+ traders for two day on Advanced Technical Analysis...
BMO – ES +6.75 and NQ +9.50 futures are lower in pre-market trading pointing to a lower open. In pre-market trading AAPL is +2.16, GOOG +0.44, BIDU +0.58, NFLX -0.58. Tuesday's intraday chart revels that almost all of the drop to 1,041 support occured during the first hour. The last five and half hours buyers were taking from sellers at support. If support breaks on Wednesday trade to the downside according to your rules. If support holds wait for a bounce and entry signal according to your rules.
Bonds are lower and TLT is down 16 cents in pre-market trading.
The Euro is up 90 pips in overnight trading and moving above its 30 DMA. Look for energy stocks to lead the market early.
SPY is up 53 cents and XLF is higher in pre-market trading. Watch XLF as a key to any sustained move in the SPX.
Short term resistance is at 1,056 the R1 of Tuesday's large black candle. Short term support is at 1,041with the next horizontal support at 1,030.
Follow your rules for potential enter and exits and trade the charts you are trading following the principles of trend, support and resistance and momentum.

Index Direction Confirmation
VIX Up Yes – SPX
SOX Down Yes – COMPQ
All of our bull flag setups moved lower which is why I teach wait for the break of the high of the low day. FFIV and BA stopped out while HAS, ABC, CRUS, ILMN, NETL and NYX may have held depending on exactly where stops were placed.
Flag setups ALK, HSY, SKX, AZO, NTAP, UNP, LCC, UAUA, CAL, VECO, AKAM, UCO, SNDK, CAT, UNG, CRM, ICE, NFLX, TIE, SBUX, AAP, GMCR, SWN, VMW, DLR, CMG, BIDU, DECK all moved lower with many breaking below their 30 DMA.
Remember the entry on a flag is a break above the high of the low day. While it may seem improbable to have any support bounces on Wednesday, if a bounce does occur trade it according to your rules. We'll find out if big money is still buying at the 1,040 support on Wednesday.
Guidance:
The SPX broke support at its 61.8% Fib level from its June 8 low and price then fell to its next support level at 1,041 a 100% retracement of its recent rally. If 1,041 support breaks continue to trade to the downside.
I as wrote last night, "However the failure to make a higher high on Monday puts us on alert for a break of support" and "If support breaks trade the short term down trend." This continues to be the right view for Wednesday morning.
If you had short term bullish profits you likely were stopped out on Tuesday. Most up trending stocks in our watchlist have fallen back below their 30 DMA with 27 stocks in our watch list falling below on Tuesday. Continue to protect profits on your short term trades.
Trade weak stocks down.
The VIX rose +5.13 and closed at 34.13.
The short term 3 day trend is down.
The six-month trend is neutral.

Follow your rules for potential enter and exits and trade the charts you are trading following the principles of trend, support and resistance and momentum.
The SPX pull back, looks probable to break its 61.8% Fib level, which suggest a move to the 78% level at 1,061. The SPX is still in an intermediate term sideways trend, congestion or consolidation with price at support.
Remember the entry on a flag is a break above the high of the low day, some gave entries on Monday but most are still in the setup stage...so watch for a potential entry signal today...Also be mindful if any breaks support and creat a trend reversal for opportunities to the downside...

VIX Up Yes – SPX
SOX Up No – COMPQ
The SPX formed a spinning top for the second straight trading day. Monday's narrow trading range, 11.15, inside day candle did not confirm Friday's bullish harami. Support held the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level and the market remained in balance at support. The VIX moved higher confirming the modest move down in the SPX and the breadth weakened as NYSE advancers fell to 1,428 from 2,228 on Friday.

FFIV, ABC, CRUS, ILMN, NETL and NYX gave entry signals on Monday. HAS and BA held its bounce.

Remember the entry on a flag is a break above the high of the low day, so watch for a potential entry signal on Tuesday.
Guidance:
The SPX held support at its 61.8% Fib level from its June 8 low. The inside day still gives an edge to the upside as we look for confirmation of Friday's bullish harmi. However the failure to make a higher high on Monday puts us on alert for a break of support. The unemployment report comes on Friday, if Monday is any indication, traders may be unwilling to move prices higher until the report is out.
Tighten up stops to protect profits on your short term trades.

SPX Finds Buyers at 61.8% Fib Level...Forms Bullish Harami...
DJIA 10,143.81 -8.99 -0.09%
SP500 1,076.76 +3.07 +0.29%
COMPQ 2,217.42 +6.06 +0.27%
Russell 2000 645.11 +11.94 +1.89%
Exchange NYSE NASD
Advancing 2,228 1,824

SOX 352.09 -0.13
VIX 28.42 -1.22
Index Direction Confirmation
VIX Down Yes – SPX
SOX Down No – COMPQ
After four consecutive down days, buyers stepped in at the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level and the market came into balance. The RUT led the other broad indexes with a gain of 1.89%. The VIX moved lower confirming the modest move up in the SPX and the breadth was solid as NYSE advancers led decliners 2,228 to 814.
Bull Flag List
Thursday – HAS has entry signal
Friday – UCO, GMCR, ICE, CAT, NFLX ABC, AKAM, AZO, BA, BIDU, CMG, ILMN, UNG and TIE have either and intraday or end of day break above the high of the low day.
CRM, DECK, CRUS, NYX, AAP, DLR, FFIV, NTAP, SBUX, SKX, SNDK, SWN, UNP, VECO and VMW form a good flag setup and a bullish candle pattern with a potential break of the high of the low day on Monday.
AAPL, BRCM, ALK, CAL, UAUA and HSY make new low day in a fifth day of pull back.
Remember the entry on a flag is a break above the high of the low day, so watch for a potential entry signal on Monday.
Guidance:
The SPX found support at its 61.8% Fib level from its June 8 low. The SPX tested 1,071, touched 1,067 before rallying to a high of 1,083 which is right in the middle of the 1,081 to1,085 short term resistance area, before pulling back to close up for the day at 1,076. The SPX formed a spinning top which is part of a two day candle bullish harami which suggests the potential for a support bounce on Monday. Look for the formation of a higher low and higher high on Monday and for potential confirmation of Friday's bullish harami.
Tighten up stops to protect profits on your short term bearish trades.
If a support bounce fails to appear on Monday, stay with the short term down trend while looking for a potential break above the high of the low day in up trending stocks on Monday.
Trade strong stocks up.
Trade weak stocks down.
The VIX fell -1.22 and closed at 28.52. Volatility stayed above the important 25 level on Friday.
The short term 3 day trend is down.
The six-month trend is neutral.
The twelve-month trend is up.

Intermediate Term Market Trend: Neutral
Short Term Market Trend: Down
Futures Point to a Slightly Higher Open...
BMO – ES +5.00 and NQ +8.75 futures are higher in pre-market trading pointing to a higher open. In pre-market trading AAPL is +1.46, GOOG +2.55, BIDU +1.12, NFLX +1.79.
Bonds are slightly lower and TLT is down 34 cents in pre-market trading.
The Euro is flat in overnight trading and at the support of its 10 and 30 DMA forming a doji and a flag pattern at this moment.
SPY is is up 44 cents and XLF is up 7 cents in pre-market trading. Watch XLF as a key to any sustained move in the SPX.
Short term resistance is at 1,103 to 1,105. This same support level was broken on Tuesday in a continuation pull back that started on Monday. Watch for a potential test of Tuesday's break today. If buyers don't take it through this short term resistance, there could be more to this pull back.
Because of the reversal pattern on the chart with the low at 1,040, this current move is most likely a pull back in an overall sideways intermediate term trend. Based on the chart it appears most probable that this pull back will make a higher low. Whether that is Tuesday's low or a low to be made on a different today this week or next, will be determined by when buyers take the SPX back through the 1,103 to 1,105 level.
After nine and a half net up days, this short term trend was due for a correction. Tuesday's low marked a 38.2% Fib retracement on the SPX and could be the low. If this morning's trading stays above Tuesday's low of 1,094 and can break through the 1,105 resistance with a confirmation from the VIX falling below 25, then this may be the pull back low.
If trading can't accomplish that, then we will look for another lower high and lower low today. Next support level is at 1,081.
Trader's should be prepared for either outcome as it unfolds. Follow your rules for potential enter and exits and trade the charts you are trading following the principles of trend, support and resistance and momentum.
This is a pull back in a short term trend in an intermediate term sideways trend. We also refer to the intermediate term pattern as congestion or consolidation.
Stocks are mixed with a bias to the upside on light volume in pre-market trading.
Continue to be alert to the 1,103 resistance level and the potential for a break through resistance or the support of Tuesday's low.
AAPL, BRCM and NTRI were up and stronger than the market on Tuesday as were BIDU and GOOG thought they were down slightly. .
Here are 30...YES...30 terrific looking bull flag setups... NFLX, AKAM, SNDK, CMG, VMW, UAUA, CAL, ALK, DECK, SKX, HSY, FFIV, ILMN, LVS, AZO, AAP, TIE, DLR, UNG, UCO, ICE, NETL, BA, CAT, NYX, BIDU, NTAP, SWN, HAS and CRM, most of which are also listed in our At the Open watch list below.
If any of them work, you can thank me later.
If the SPX makes a higher low and breaks through 1,105, the new chart target is 1,170 in approximately four weeks.
VIX closed at 27 on Tuesday. I view 25 as an important confirmation level for a continuation of the recent support bounce. If this breakout support bounce is going to continue look for the VIX to stay below 25.

SOX Down Yes – COMPQ
After a rising slightly higher, the SPX reached 1,118.50, right at the 1,119 resistance area that I alerted you to in this morning's post. The SPX traded between 1,110 and 1,116 until just after 2 pm ET, when selling accelerated and the SPX fell to its 1,095 close.
AAPL, BRCM and CRUS moved higher on Tuesday. In Friday's Weekly Wrap I said how the market was likely to drift over the next three weeks prior to earnings. We saw some of that drift within its trading range today.
Up trending stocks NFLX, AKAM, SNDK, CMG, VMW, UAUA, CAL, ALK, DECK, SKX, HSY, FFIV, ILMN, LVS, AZO, AAP, TIE, DLR, UNG, UCO, ICE, NETL, BA, CAT, NYX, BIDU, NTAP, SWN and CRM are in bull flag pull backs for the second day today.
Guidance:
Monday's Yellow Alert turned red as a majority of stocks moved lower with the SPX and many stock breaking the low of the high day on Tuesday, giving a potential short term exit on many charts for short term traders. The SPX also closed below its 30 DMA.
I alerted you to also move bullish stops up and be prepared for a potential pull back in Monday's night post.
The Short term support at 1,103 was broken on Tuesday. 1,103 to 1,105 is now short term resistance.
Trade strong stocks up wheen they give entry signals according to your rules.
Trade weak stocks down.
The VIX rose +2.17 and closed at 27.05. Volatility rose above the critical 25 level on Tuesday in confirmation of the SPX move down.
The short term 3 day trend is down.
The six-month trend is neutral.
The twelve-month trend is up.
Continue to focus on and trade setups on the charts of the stocks you watch, trade with the trend of the chart and follow your rules.

Short Term Market Trend: Down
Future Point to a Flat Open with Nasdaq Leaders Up...
BMO – ES -1.25 and NQ +2.50 futures are flat in pre-market trading pointing to a flat open. In pre-market trading AAPL is +1.82, GOOG +0.04, BIDU +1.13, NFLX +2.01.
Bonds are slightly higher and TLT is up 41 cents in pre-market trading.
The Euro is down 35 pips in overnight trading and at its 30 DMA forming a flag pattern.
SPY is is unchanged and XLF is up 1 cent in pre-market trading. Watch XLF as a key to any sustained move in the SPX.
Short term support is still 1,103 watch for a potential test after Monday's pull back. Short term resistance on Monday's candle is at 1,119 with intermediate resistance at 1,130.
Stocks are mixed on light volume in pre-market trading. This is suggesting that Monday's low represent at least a temporary level of balance in trading. We'll watch if buyers take control at the open. Remember buyers are in net control over the past 10 trading days and while Monday's pull back can continue, look primarily for a higher lower and support bounce at some point.
Continue to be alert to the 1,103 support level and the potential for a break below the low of the high day.
Look through our watch list below for potential setups. NFLX, BIDU, AAPL may lead the market higher as they have found at temporary support after Monday's pull back.
The breakout continues to hold with the new chart target is 1,170 in approximately four weeks. Monday's pull back is testing last week's the breakout and is setting up a potential entry opportunity.
VIX closed just below 25 on Monday. I view 25 as an important confirmation level for pull back if over 25 and support bounce continuation under 25. If this breakout support bounce is going to continue look for the VIX to stay below 25.
Trading Down: ZION, TSL, SWK, MOS
Trading Up: NFLX, BUCY, CSTR, NETL, SNDK, CAT, MA, CLF, X, CRUS, MHS, V, GS, POT, URE

Trade those charts that meet your rules in the direction of the trend.
Follow your rules in any trading actions today. Be logical.

After a strong trend day on Tuesday the SPX traded in a narrow trading range Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Friday's SPX range was just 7 points. The SPX did make a higher high and higher low and a new high close on Friday. The weekly chart clearly shows a breakout of the three week bottom. The VIX closed below 25 which as we have been saying for weeks is the confirmation of the up trend.
Stay with the trend on leading stocks like AKAM, CRUS, ALK, SNDK, DECK, CMG, FFIV, SKX, NFLX, HSY, DLR, CRM, TIE, VMW, ILMN, AAPL , BIDU, UAUA, CAL, AZO, LVS and UNG.
Look at reversal breakout stocks that may be ready to run with the leaders like GMCR, VECO, CREE, NETL, NYX, BA and CAT.
1,170 in 4 weeks in the new SPX chart target.

After a strong trend day on Tuesday the SPX traded in a narrow trading range Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Friday's SPX range was just 7 points. The SPX did make a higher high and higher low and a new high close on Friday. The weekly chart clearly shows a breakout of the three week bottom. The VIX closed below 25 which as we have been saying for weeks is the confirmation of the up trend.

Guidance:
Another successful test of Tuesday's breakout found buyers at the 1,113 area as the SPX made a higher high and a higher low on Friday while making a new high close. We look for the up trend to continue higher with three weeks to go until the July earnings season starts.1,170 in 4 weeks in the new SPX chart target.
