PowerRating) from last night has yielded good results. The Spoos gapped down
and remained down all session. Today’s action suggests some downside continuation
Tuesday, although the 20-day moving average at 913 and a Fib level at 914-915
may offer some support on Wednesday. Pretty much the same scenario goes for the
noodles (NQZ2|NQZ2]. Fib support here at 1072 and 20-day MA at 1068.

Please
note that while there are strong trends, one bar or a series of bars forming a
setup can sometimes indicate a contra move for the next day. This contra move
may not be long-lasting — maybe only for a day or two. Trading with the main
trend is always the highest probability trade.
Remember,
use stops on all your trades.
