sp' daily 4month
Summary
Just look at the daily 10MA (the red line!). With the snap higher last Wednesday June'6th, that was our first proper buy signal. Even the size of that candle was a huge warning to the bears to close any remaining positions.
Today, the daily 10MA is 1313, and is now starting to ramp higher. At current trend it will be 1350 by the end of next week. So...it is very feasible market will be 20/30pts above that level sometime late next week....hence my secondary zone of 1380/90.
Arguably, only with a break below sp'1313 do we have an initial sell signal, and even then I'd be reluctant ahead of the Fed next Wednesday.
The trend IS clear, we're headed up in the near term, no matter how sickening that is to the many doomers out there, and those bearish traders who are shorting today 'hoping' for a major gap lower on Monday.
A close today over 1340 would be a bonus to the bulls, its certainly not necessary though. Even a minor red close would be fine.
Ironically, it looks again like what was initially a seemingly very bearish news event, will end with the market gapping higher on Monday morning. I sympathise with those bears who are short right now, but they are currently fighting the trend.
