The markets ended mixed on Tuesday and with very little change to our charts. We do notice still that the Money Flow is very positive and the Stochastics are high/overbought. All the technical readings are high and in case of the Money Flow and MACD, both are positive but to the point of being over positive. With that in mind and how far we have risen, a bit of caution is needed. Although at the same time, there is nothing saying we won't just keep drifting to new highs for the rest of the year and start of the next. As we previously written, you can let winners run, but we would not use excessive margin or open any new large positions. So the question is, are we getting overextended? We may get a breather/pullback/pause sometime, but as long as support levels hold on any such moves, the dips can be bought. On the long term chart, we mark the last break out point of 302.50 as a support level. On the shorter term chart, we mark 304 as the first possible support area. The current set-up under 'normal conditions' is telling us we should continue to move sideways or up. We notice the 20, 50, and 200 day moving averages are all in alignment and are all moving higher. The current price is also above all three MAs, which is good usually. The Vix is under 13, which is risk on for the markets. The MACD is positive. The Stochastics are high/overbought. The Money Flow is very positive. We are above the 50-day MA. The 20,50,200 day moving averages are in a positive alignment and heading higher. The 50-day MA (300.51)(+.30) and the 200-day MA (289.15)(+.22) On the 9-month chart below, we have broken above the previous tops line near 302.50, that area is now a support level. We are now in an uptrend channel, but be aware near the top of the channel.
