SPX
Resistance: 1,182, 1,190, 2,000
Support: 1,170, 1,148, 1,130
Enter bullish trades with a bounce off support and a break above the high of the low day or a break out of horizontal resistance.
On Thursdaythe SPX again barely closed below the low of the high day on Monday so the barely Red Alert on the SPX on Wednesday is still barely on Thursday. We maintain our Yellow Alert on the COMPQ looking for a close below the low of the high day. As I said in Monday night’s webcast a move below the low of the high day does not necessarily signal a major retracement, but it does signal at least a short term pull back.
A break and/or close below the low of the high day can be a potential exit for short bullish trades. Entry for a bearish signal can be a close below of the low of the high day for a counter trend trade or the same entry on a down trending stock.
The short term 3 day trend is neutral.
The three-month trend is neutral
The twelve-month trend is up.
Continue to focus on and trade setups on the charts of the stocks you watch. Trade with the trend of the chart and follow your rules.

QCOM -0.06 – black candle

Good night DAVE! Thanks for the doji report. I am still waiting for confirmation. I will continue to wait for another day. Looking forward to the markets tomorrow. Judy
Hi Dave,
I think you meant 1200, not 2000 as resistance on the $SPX. Have a great one.
