THE CHARTS: (NOTE: Charts are a good guide, but when a tweet or news item can jerk the markets around, they mean a bit less.) BRIEFING: We dropped on Wednesday due to negative Covid virus news late in the day. This is an example of why we keep the "use caution" message on here, a bad headline about the virus or economy or something else can turn the market south quickly. Looking at how far we have risen in the last 2-3 weeks and seeing some uncertainty remain, we are not jumping all-in to the market. A sideways type of market is most likely to us. The technicals remain mostly positive. This is a traders and stock pickers kind of market currently.* Don't risk to much, there is still a lack of CERTAINTY in the markets. * 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: Late day drop on virus news. POSITIVES: The MACD is positive.We are over the 20-day moving average.We are over the 50-day moving average, which is rising.We are over the 200-day moving average, which is rising. NEGATIVES: What about the Fundamentals, Valuations, Virus news, the Economy, Jobs, Election results, Politics, The FED, etc.?A lot of things out there to worry about still!The Vix is still a bit high (over 20). OPINION: Currently we are above the 20-day, 50-day and 200-day MAs. (Bullish).We were thinking about a sideways - range bound type of market for a while, but the market keeps rising.So - The possibility of making new highs is on the table as the technicals are looking good.SPY 340 is our support/stop level.The top of that big black candle near SPY 364 is where resistance will be found.We still say "Use Caution" for a reason. Do not over risk yourself or over leverage yourself.We are still susceptible to large drops or dips.Look for trading opportunities that could result and have your trading lists ready. * Do not use MARGIN at this time unless absolutely certain of your trade! *INDICATORS: The MACD is positive. The Stochastics are neutral. The Money Flow is slightly positive. MA +/- (slope): The 50-day MA (340.90)(+0.35) and the 200-day MA (312.08)(+0.14) The 9-month chart (below). We are above the SPY 340 level, which appears to be good support now. The market looks to be making a nice up-channel since the March low. Technically looking good.
