THE CHARTS: (NOTE: Charts are a good guide, but news items can move the markets around.) BRIEFING: The markets ended higher on Wednesday with the S&P making new all-time highs. On our charts, the technicals all look great with exception of the Stochastics starting to get high. We still however are leaving the trading range tops and bottoms on the chart for reference, etc. There is still a chance we could backtrack into the range. We were 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.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 S&P 500 made new highs.The Stochastics are high.
