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.
The SPX Yellow Alert turned Red on Wednesday with a close below the low of the high day…just barely…some traders may want further confirmation because of the strong close for the day...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.

Dave,
Trading can be an exciting, satisfying but sometimes lonely business and I look forward to your insights. I can’t Thank-you enough, from someone that always appreciates the time you spend teaching. Val
Good night DAVE! Thanks for laying out your Monday night virtual trades. It is helpful to look at your strikes and parameters. Thanks again for this post and "naming" today's $SPX candle. Hanging man doesn't sound too good. Looking forward to finding out what happens tomorrow. Judy
