Looking Ahead to Today By Reflecting back at Monday’s price action
INDICES:
Sharply higher settlements yesterday for the cash (spot) and futures stock indices. Thanks to government announcements all of the indices rallied sharply giving me buy signals. I don’t know if I trust these signals but “it is what it is!” Look for retracements lower first no matter what happens. Like I said there is little resistance up to 8000-10000 and our government helped give the indices a big push towards this area. I maintain Buy Signals for Dow, S&P 500 and NASDAQ 100 stock index futures.
