The market saw another full day of minor price chop, with the sp +0.6pts @ 1838. The two leaders - Trans/R2K, settled +0.95% and +0.1% respectively. Near term outlook is a touch uncertain - with the monthly jobs data early Friday, but the broader trend remains very much to the upside.

Summary
The ongoing minor price chop is merely building larger bull flags on the daily charts of just about all indexes. There is little reason to expect any downside <sp'1810/00. The fact that the Transports - old leader, climbed almost 1% today...is likely a major clue for how the rest of the main market will trend tomorrow.
Near term upside target remains the 1860/80 zone by end month.
