Technical Commentary:

IWM -0.02%, DIA -0.32%, SPY -0.45% and QQQ -0.83% all gapped lower at the open following the Jobs Report of 88,000 new jobs below expectation of 200,000 new jobs.  Minutes after the open buyers took control and prices rose with each ETF forming a large white candle.  Airline stocks ALK, UAL, LUV, DAL, and LCC which bounced on Thursday gapped lower and formed white candles closing near Thursday’s close.

AAPL down 4.52 dropped to its March 4 low before bouncing at support and forming a hammer candle pattern.  FB up 32 cents on a strong 64.5 million shares of volume bounced and closed above its 30 DMA for the second straight day.  FB gave a C pattern entry on Thursday. 

The Euro was up 56 pips and closed at 1.2989 on Friday. 

Trade what you see on the chart of your position. The trend is up and traders should lock in profits when targets are reached. As always look for re-entry according to your rules.

The SPY touched near its March 19 low on Friday and bounced closing in the middle of its four week sideways range of 153.59 to 157.21.  Chart Signals continues to be short-term neutral on the SPY until a break of support or resistance levels of the past three weeks.

FFIV -19.03% dropped on Friday following a warning it will miss Q2 expectations.

YELP +8.58% jumps after GOOG sells Frommer's to its original founder.
