Futures Point to a Slightly Higher Open...

BMO – ES +4.75 and NQ +13.50 futures are flat to higher in pre-market trading pointing to a flat open. In pre-market trading AAPL is +3.69, AMZN +1.32, GOOG +4.63, BIDU +1.38, INTC is up 13 cents, BAC is up 16 cents and GS +1.14.


Stocks are are slightly higher on light volume this morning in pre-market trading that the market may mind support near the 1,070 area. If the market does have buyers in this area, this will be a higher low than the 1,040 area on May 25.

Look a the SPX chart and remember after the long tailed hammer at the February low the SPX consolidated for five days before really taking off. Today is the fifth day after the long tailed hammer last week. The intermediate term (six month) trend is still neutral holding above support, so be prepared for a potential support bounce. Adjust your stops on down trending trades to protect profits if the market does bounce here.

Continue to Follow Your Rules.

Bonds are flat and TLT is down 5 cents in pre-market trading.

Hi Dave,
I never ceased to be amazed! After a number of years I pride myself on becoming a technical trade but never ceased to be amazed how we can both look at same charts and you can see & read so much more from it than I. I want you to know I try hard not to think what is going to happen but watch what is happening and act accordingly. Once again thanks for bringing all of us along.

Thank you, Dave for having P.Blakely on during your ATA Capstone today.
Maybe someone can "OK him" for his own ATA Friday Capstone timeslot. No disrespect to the current Friday instructor, but Patrick IS REALLY Good, in my Newbee opinion...
