BRIEFING: We had some dip buying on Thursday. It is a big relief that our SPY 403 did hold up as support. It means the longer-term uptrend is still very much intact. A trading range of SPY 403 to 420 is a good possibility for a while. The MACD and the Money Flow are declining again, keep an eye on them. They need to stop declining soon. On the longer term 8-month chart the trend is still positive.* If you have any questions or opinions to add please do so! * IF wanting to gamble: Options trades on these ETFs will give you a way to place your bets. $TQQQ - $SQQQ - $SPXL - $SPXS. * Beware - levered ETFs are subject to decay and are not for long-term holding. * CHANGES: None.

The 8-month chart shows a strong uptrend.Short-term it looks like we will be in a trading range for a while.Some risks to the markets still remain.Longer-term question to ask?
