Guidance: The SPX and INDU inched their way to new closing highs on Wednesday. The SPX is still in its horizontal price channel. Trading volume was lighter on Wednesday exactly as expected. Friday is a half trading day, so look for very light volume or do something else for fun.
The intermediate term is up and the short term trend is still neutral. We expected traders to be reluctant to short this markets and buyers decided to buy the 1,098 area again. As we said buyers are stepping in at support and sellers take over at resistance in this horizontal channel. Don't be surprised if sellers at the 1,110 area again.
Many stocks continued to stay in their recent consolidation as fewer traders were around before Thanksgiving Day. When traders return in full force on Monday, be prepared for a move in either direction. Last year a sell off occurred the Monday after Thanksgiving.
Continue to focus on and trade setups on the charts of the stocks you watch and follow your rules.

hello... hapi blogging... have a nice day! just visiting here....
Whoa, the futures were down more than I've ever seen them last night. Not sure what to do in a situation like this. First thought is to not overreact.
