Dow +469.93 at 21413.50, Nasdaq +126.73 at 7486.66, S&P +56.40 at 2526.90 News to keep in mind Friday morning: Futures trade vs fair value were trading a bit lower late last night.Still unpredictable! But we have successfully held above SPY 240 support. 260 acts as resistance.Dow -200, S&P -20, Nasdaq -47, Russell -5.The biggest factors in the market right now are; Coronavirus headlines, the Fed, the Oil price war, the Global Economy and Global Geopolitical conflicts.Keeping an eye on the VIX - the CBOE Volatility Index is spiking due to virus fear and fear of economic fallout due to the virus. When the Vix peaks, the market bottoms. Today's Economic Calendar: 8:30 AM ET, Employment Report for March. The consensus is for 100,000 jobs lost, and for the unemployment rate to increase to 3.9%.10:00 AM, the ISM non-Manufacturing Index for March. The consensus is for a reading of 48.1, down from 57.3. THE CHARTS: (NOTE: Charts are a good guide but when a tweet or news item can jerk the markets around, they mean a bit less.) The markets went up a bit on Thursday, as the oil market had a big rebound. Our SPY 240 support level has lasted for over a week now, so we will make it an official support line and bottom! BUT...keep remaining cautious as the Vix remains high. Volatility did drop a bit lately, but is still very high. Also we have marked SPY 260/270 as resistance levels. What we need in order to make an official bottom is 2 days in a row or more of gains (We got that) and for the Vix to start coming down *(We have NOT gotten this yet). Also bottoms are found when there is little market reaction to negative news. So we have a half a bottom and are now thinking there is a possibility that it will hold up. BUT... Virus fear or panic will keep this scenario at risk. * Don't risk to much for awhile, there is still a lack of SANITY in the markets. For the moment, the market will still be like a casino. Some trading is fairly close to outright gambling. Don't hold your breath waiting for normal market action to return, but be ready to make some trades when it does. IF wanting to gamble: Options trades on these ETFs will give you a way to place your bets. $TQQQ - $SQQQ - $SPXL - $SPXS CHANGES: The MACD is a negative number, but is rising now after a positive crossover.Our 240 Support level is holding.The Stochastics are no longer overbought and returned to a neutral reading. POSITIVES: We are still oversold.The MACD has bottomed and is rising.Not technical - BUT it appears the Chinese are going back to work. If believed.The Money Flow is slightly positive. NEGATIVES: We are under the 50-day moving average.The 50-day moving average is declining.We are under the 200-day moving averageThe Vix remains high.OPINION & STOCKS: Short-term using caution, maybe defensive.Look for trading opportunities with this high volatility!Be aware that we are susceptible to large pullbacks or dips with this high level of volatility.Keep using caution as the Coronavirus is not cured and continues to spark fears about an economic slowdown.The U.S. economy is uncertain. (As far as we are told/know). We must keep an eye on how the virus might slow it down and by how much.After any big sell-offs or dips - look for names that are oversold to buy. Have your trading list ready.We like: $AMRN - Amarin (See recent news first), $AUPH - Aurinia Pharma, $CARA - Cara Therapeutics, $COLL - Collegium, $EPZM - Epizyme, $HZNP - Horizon Pharma (if under 30), $IOVA - Iovance (constant buyout rumors), $IMMU - Immunomedics (FDA approval date coming soon), $KPTI - Karyopharm, $TGTX - TG Therapeutics.If your thinking longer-term: $T - AT&T is worth a look, high dividend yield. * Currently some of the market action is "unpredictable or irrational". Keep that in mind if trading. * Using some caution: * Meaning - Do not use margin at this time unless absolutely certain of your trade!. * VIX: Spikes on virus fears! Expect possible price swings. If the market has truly found a bottom or support the Vix will start coming back down. INDICATORS: The MACD is negative, but rising. The Stochastics are neutral. The Money Flow is slightly positive. MA +/-: The 50-day MA (295.16)(-1.24) and the 200-day MA (298.76)(-0.18) On the 9-month chart below, we were looking at a severe and quick drop of the market. All previous patterns are broken and voided. We see the possibility of the 240 area for support. With 6 days above it now, this level appears top be holding. 260 on this chart appears to be some resistance. * Continue to use caution as we deal with the breaking down of the previous chart patterns.
