The major indices have a strong down day

Recap 4/21 – Thursday, the S&P opened with a 30 handle gap up and then rallied another 23 handles into a 9:51 AM high of the day. From that high, the S&P declined 128 handles into a 3:50 PM low of the day. From that low, the S&P bounced 12 - 17 handles into the close.

4/21 – Following a large up opening, the major indices reversed to have a very strong down day to finish with the following closes: INDU - 368.03; S&P 500 – 65.79 : and the NASDAQ Composite - 278.41.

Looking ahead - Wednesday’s close offered a murky set up into our 4/20 AC change in trend. I heard from some of you that you sold the up open on Thursday and did well. Way to go! Our next change in trend is due 4/22 AC. Please see details below.

The Now Index has moved to the BUY ALERT ZONE. This is indicating a moderate imbalance of too many shorts. This is not an outright buy signal, but rather a caution signal for the bears.
