US stock markets recover as expected in the longer term bull trend [Video]

  • Emini S&P June futures bounce from 5263 to recover 3 days of losses.

  • Emini Nasdaq remains in a sideways consolidation for a month, as we fail to breakout above the all time high. Although we beat 18691, we quickly reversed from 18709.

  • Emini Dow Jones June futures hit a short term on Friday to ease short term overbought conditions.

Emini S&P: bulls remain in control, with buying the dips still the winning strategy, despite the market looking tired & I believe entering an overdue sideways consolidation.

  • A break above the May Contract & all time high at 5323 this week targets 5338/42.

  • Obviously I remain a buyer on any weakness in the unstoppable bull trend.

  • First support at 5258/53, but below 5250 meets strong support at 5245/35. Longs need stops below 5225.

  • If we collapse further, the best support for this week should be at 5195/85 & longs need stops below 5170.

Chart

Nasdaq June futures unable to sustain a break above the previous all time high as we reverse from 18709. At this stage it looks like we continue to form a sideways consolidation. Indeed in the last 4 days we have held a range of only 250 ticks from yesterday's low at 18378 up to Friday's high at 18626.

  • We continue to see prices chopping up & down in a sideways consolidation for a significant period of time as predicted.

  • There is definitely no sell signal & I see this as a pause in the bull trend.

  • If we do see a convincing break higher we can look for 18810/850 & 18910/930 then 19000.

  • We should have strong support at 18330/300 & longs need stops below 18200.

Chart

Emini Dow Jones June.

  • Our long at support at 39740/690 worked perfectly yesterday as we shot higher to my targets of 39940/980 & 40170/200, with a high for the day exactly here.

  • An easy 450 ticks profit on the week.

  • If we continue higher today, after such strong gains, look for a retest of the all time high at 40316.

  • On a break higher look for my next target of 40450/490., perhaps as far as 40610/630.

  • Strong support again at 39740/690 & longs need stops below 39600.

  • Targets again are: 39940/980 & 40170/200.

  • An unexpected break lower however risks a slide to 39450/400.
