Technical Commentary:

QQQ +0.13% led IWM + 0.07%, SPY +0.00% and DIA -0.22% on Wednesday as each index rebounded from its opening low on continued Cyprus worries. 

AAPL -9.06 closed lower and above its 30 DMA for the eighth straight day and formed a black candle following Tuesday’s bearish engulfing pattern.  FB  +89 cents formed large bullish engulfing and closed above its Fib 50% retracement level from its Nov 12 low… is still a setup for a potential C Pattern Entry after a support bounce. 

The Euro was down 76 pips and closed at 1.2776 on Wednesday.  A new bank withdrawal guidelines in Cyprus were announced. 

Trade what you see on the chart of your position. The trend is up and traders should lock in profits when targets are reached. As always look for re-entry according to your rules.

The SPY was unchanged as TNX was moved lower and TLT Bonds closed higher.

The Market Forecast Green Line is in the upper zone.
