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 had a pullback day off of an overbought level in the Stochastics and due to poor economic news. The good news is, we did not sustain any technical damage to our charts. We still have some positives on our charts as well as two concerns to watch out for. We are still above our resistance line at 270. If we stay above it for a while longer it could become support. The concerns to watch out for are the 280 level, which is the next obvious resistance area, and the 50-day moving average. The 50-day MA is just up above us and maybe a level of resistance (or not as the markets don't seem normal currently). Keeping an eye on the 50-day MA is important as many market technicians use this as their benchmark. * We may stay under the control of virus headlines, so keep an eye on them.* Much will depend on how soon the economy is opened back up and how much damage was caused by the shutdowns. * 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 * Beware - levered ETFs are subject to decay and are not for long-term holding. * CHANGES: The Stochastics are still high/overbought.We are staying above our 270 resistance level, which could become support. POSITIVES: We are still way under the old highs.The MACD has bottomed and is rising.We are over the 20-day moving average.We have held support (245) and broken over resistance (270).The Money Flow is currently 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 Stochastics are high/overbought.The Vix still is high, even though it has come down some. OPINION: Beware we are short-term overbought according to the Stochastics. But, the MACD is currently strong and the Money Flow has gone positive due to recent rallies.Keep using caution, maybe defensive. We still have a bunch of uncertainties.Look for trading opportunities with this high volatility!Be aware that we are susceptible to large pullbacks or dips with the current high level of volatility.The U.S. economy is uncertain. We must keep an eye on how much the virus slows it down and for how long. (Currently an unknown).After any big sell-offs or dips - look for names that are oversold to buy.

MA +/-: The 50-day MA (286.60)(-0.89) and the 200-day MA (298.08)(-0.06) On the 9-month chart below, we are looking at a severe and quick drop of the market and the rebound. All previous patterns are broken and voided. The 260 support line is now 'confirmed'. It would be a good technical sign for the markets if we stay above 260 or even 270. 270 was drawn as a resistance level, but we will be watching for the possibility of it becoming a support level. 280 is the next obvious spot for resistance. * Continue to use caution - Still many unknowns. * Disclosure: I may trade in the ticker symbols mentioned, both long or short.
