BRIEFING: The markets ended up with a positive turnaround day on Thursday. We noticed that the Vix dropped and some bargain hunting / buying started to come into the market. Let's notice that the Stochastics are low and appear to have bottomed, which at these levels usually means the next cycle is back up for the markets. The bounce off of the 50-day moving average and then a rally by the S&P today is a nice positive technically.We are currently in the SPY 380-395 trading range on the 4-month chart. * Repeating: Previously we mentioned two Scenarios: 1) We break above the SPY 395 resistance line to new highs, or 2) we get turned around and stay within a trading range. At the moment, the second possibility is winning. Keep both possibilities in mind when making your trades. Make your own determination on the possibilities and your personal risk tolerances. Questions to ask oneself before the trade: How well is the economy is reopening? What does the stimulus deal passing mean? Will treasury yields stay low/stabilize? Will stimulus checks going to the 'Robinhood' kids add volatility to the markets? Positives: We are above the 50-day moving average and well above the SPY 380 support level.Note: The Russell 2000 (small caps) are still leading the markets so far this year.IF wanting to gamble: Options trades on these ETFs will give you a way to place your bets. $TQQQ - $SQQQ - $SPXL - $SPXS. * Beware - levered ETFs are subject to decay and are not for long-term holding. * CHANGES: The Stochastics are low and appear to have bottomed. POSITIVES: The MACD is positive.We are over the 20-day moving average.We are over the 50-day moving average, which is rising.We are over the 200-day moving average, which is rising. NEGATIVES: The Money Flow is negative.Possible market top or trading range?Thinking about the Fundamentals, Valuations, Virus news, the Economy, Jobs, Politics, The FED, etc.?Some things out there to worry about still!
