Emini S&P March futures hit the downside target & strong support at 6,750/6,730.
We wrote: This is key to direction for this week & if tested, longs need stops below 6,710.
Longs here worked perfectly & we shot higher from 6,718 to 6,849, holding resistance at 6,850/6,870.
Watch these 2 levels again today.
A break below 6,710 can target 6,650/6,640.
A break above resistance at 6,850/6,870 targets 6,900/6,915, perhaps as far as 6,930/6,935.
Throughout February we held inside of January & December's range of 6,720 to 7043
Until we breakout of this range it is increasingly tough to find opportunities.
Bulls need prices above 6,930/6,940 for a chance to retest last week's high at 6,975/83.
