Emini S&P September beat strong resistance at 3985/95 to target strong resistance at 4060/80. A high for the day exactly here in fact.

Nasdaq September futures longs at support at 12100/12000 worked perfectly on the bounce to my target of 12400/450 for profit taking. We then hit strong resistance at 12600/700, with a high for the day exactly here.

Emini Dow Jones September futures hit my next target & strong resistance at 31700/800 but we continued higher to the next target of 32200/300.

Remember when support is broken it usually acts as resistance & vice-versa.

Shorts at strong resistance at 12600/700 target strong support at 12400/350. Longs need stops below 12300.
