Futures Point to a Higher Open...

BMO – ES +4.00 and NQ +5.25 futures are lower in pre-market trading pointing to a lower open. AAPL +1.23, AMZN +0.97, GOOG +2.41 and BIDU +6.89 are higher in pre-market trading. INTC is up 25 cents, JPM up 33 cents, BAC up 20 cents, GE up 11 cents and GS is up 3.18.

Stocks are generally higher in pre-market trading lifted by financial and energy stocks and positive earnings announcements.  Look for a continuation of Monday's support bounce and potential bull flag confirmation.

The short term is neutral but may turn up today and the intermediate term and long term trends are up.

Trade those charts that meet your rules in the direction of the trend.
