12:40 pm ET - After falling for the first 90 minutes the SPY, SPX and ES have found at least a support area for the past 90 minutes. The SPY is the 84 area, the SPX is the 839 - 840 area and the ES is the 835 - 836 area.
Look at the 10 minute SPY chart to see this support area is the support area of last Tuesday and Wednesday.

10:35 am ET - After opening lower, the first hour of trading has been down. SPY opened down from Friday's close at 85.54 and is currently 84.46. The sell off has been straight down in the first hour. The SPY has fallen to the resistance level established on April 2 at the 84.50 - 84.60 level. We'll see if buyers step at this level. Take a look at the 30 min. chart to see the current area of support.

BMO - ES -15 and NQ - 24 are lower in pre-market trading pointing to a lower open in the cash markets. If cash opens lower this will break the low of the high day which was Friday.
Take a close look at the ES this morning and see how it is below Friday's low, we'll watch to see if it is able to move above this level in early trading this morning.

Dave: The 3 major indexes all finished down today. However, the closed at or slightly above their 20 MA. So could we still be in the same pattern?

Hi Dave,
Thank You for the explanation for Monday's Yellow Alert. I knew some but definitely not all of the reasons for the alert. It is your taking the time to explain that is helping all of us SEE MORE CLEARLY and thus "Trade the Market Not Our Thoughts". Thanks again.
