Today's Economic Calendar: 10:00 AM: State Employment and Unemployment (Monthly) for April 2020 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.) BRIEFING: The markets had a slightly lower day on Thursday with light volume. We are still staying just under the 200-day moving average. This is turning out to be a tough line to cross! On our charts we had some changes. The Stochastics are now high/overbought and the Money Flow has dropped back down to near neutral. We are remaining just below the 200-day moving average. The 200-day moving average (297.22) is the next level of resistance. This level could be strong resistance as it is a heavily watched and significant level. It is no coincidence that the market rallies get turned back just below this level. * We could be in a large trading range for a while with 200-day MA as the top line and the 50-day MA or SPY 280 as the bottom line.* Don't risk to much, there is still a lack of CERTAINTY in the markets. * 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 now high/overbought.The Money Flow dropped to neutral. POSITIVES: We are over the 20-day moving average.We are over the 50-day moving average.The 50-day moving average is rising.We have held above support at 280.

(Bullish).Next resistance level is the 200-day MA. Just under it now!On a technical basis we are in good shape, but the 200-day MA maybe hard to get over.Be aware that we are susceptible to large drops or dips with the current level of uncertainty.Look for trading opportunities that could result due to higher volatility!Have your trading lists ready. * Using caution = Do not use MARGIN at this time unless absolutely certain of your trade! *INDICATORS: The MACD is neutral.

MA +/- (slope): The 50-day MA (271.38)(+0.44) and the 200-day MA (297.22)(+0.06) On the 9-month chart below, we are looking at a severe and quick drop of the market and then a rebound. About half the losses were recovered and then a sideways period brings us to where we are today. The 280 line is now considered as support. It is a good technical sign for the markets that we have stayed above 280. A large triangle is drawn on the chart. We appear to be staying above this triangle.
