Today's Economic Calendar: 6 am NFIB small business index Aug.10 am Job openings July10 am Real median household income 2018 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 ended mixed again on Monday, with no changes to the chart. We are still cautious due to many macro economic and geopolitical issues, but things are looking better lately. The next problem area for the market is the strong resistance at SPY 300. We still reiterate the note above, as the charts mean a bit less when a tweet or news item jolts the market without notice. *Repeating* - Due to MANY different geopolitical concerns / global growth concerns we are remaining cautious. (Meaning not starting any new large long positions, taking some profits). The strong resistance level we had at 294 was decisively broken to the upside and may now become support. We will observe and show the previous support and resistance levels, but we now have a new tight 294-300 trading range. * Look for the MACD to bottom, that could mark a good buying point. * (We stayed cautious, but this turned out to be correct). The MACD is positive/crossed upwards. The Stochastics are overbought. The Money Flow is positive. We are above the 50-day MA. The 50-day MA (294.40)(+.13) and the 200-day MA (279.28)(+.16) On the 9-month chart below, the previous patterns are behind us. Shown now is the support level at 280 and the top just over the 300 level. We are in a 280/290 to 300 trading range for now.
