Dave’s Insight for Wednesday:  The SPX paused on Tuesday and pulled back to 1,180 before closing at 1,192…When the SPX again breakouts of the 1,200 level that is an indication that 1,240 and then 1,299 are the next price target levels…Posture is still bullish…Follow your rules for entries this morning for bullish and bearish trades… A good technical trader is objective and trade each chart according to their rules…Watch XLF which is still a key factor in any SPX move up or down…

I love how you used "breakouts" as a verb, Dave. Such an original thinker!

Seriously, your insights have helped me maintain serenity in a volatile market.
