Daily analysis

Emini S&P 4340/45 is the only resistance of any importance for this week. A break above 4350 therefore should be a buy signal targeting 4365/70 & eventually resistance at 4400/05.

No sell signal despite severely oversold conditions so we must assume the downside will be limited in the strong bull trend. First support at 4336/33. Below 4328 risks a slide to 4311/07. Longs need stops below 4300.

Nasdaq higher to 14850 but we expect strong resistance at 14940/990.

The downside should be limited in the strong bull trend. First support at 14725/705. Second support at 14600/580.

Emini Dow Jones September longs at best support at 34320/280 worked perfectly on the bounce to 34430/460 & 34550/570. . Further gains in the bull trend retest of September contract high at 34755. A break higher can target the all time high at 35000.

Downside is likely to be limited with best support at 34320/260 but longs need stops below 34200. A break lower can target support at 34100/34000.
