US index futures hit new all time highs [Video]

  • Emini S&P March futures beat the all time high at 5066 for a buy signal & initially hit the next target of 5090/94 as we look for 5120/25 & 5140/45.

  • Nasdaq March futures has hit my next targets of 17800/810 & 17885/910 before a retest of this week's high at 18026

  • Emini Dow Jones March futures beat this week's high at 38900/909 & the all time high at 38980-39012 as expected after the short term consolidation, and hit my next target of 39160/220.

Emini S&P: If you did manage to hold on to the long during this week we saw a very quick 70-point rally as far as my 5010 target & beyond to 5035. Yesterday we beat the all time high at 5066 for a new buy signal & initially hit the next target of 5090/94 as we look for 5120/25 & 5140/45.

Any downside correction should find support at 5065/60. Longs need stops below 5050.

Nasdaq March futures hit my next targets of 17800/810 & 17885/910 before a retest of this week's high at 18026, just shy of the all time high at 18100/120, which looks like it could be achieved today. Obviously a weekly close above here is a buy signal for the start of next week, initially targeting 18200/220 & 18260/270, probably as far as 18320/340.

Strong support at 17800/750 & longs need stops below 17650.

Emini Dow Jones March futures beat this week's high at 38900/909 & the all time high at 38980-39012 as expected, after the short term consolidation and hit my next target of 39160/220.

A high for the day only 20 ticks above here. A break above 39270 targets 39450/500, probably as far as 36650/700.

Support at 39000/38900 & longs need stops below 38750.
