S&P 500 Daily Chart Analysis – April 21
As I've been discussing with Premium Members over the past week or so, the S&P 500 is starting to get into a position for a nice move higher, potentially as high as 1440. On the chart below let's notice a few key parts. First, the 50% retracement of the December lows to the February […]

S&P 500 Analysis, Monthly And Daily Charts
As mentioned late yesterday here (http://steadytrader.wpengine.com/why-sp-500-1300-is-important-until-it-fails/), the SPX 1300 level has decent significance…until it fails that is. For now just note the nice bounce off 1300 (yes i discussed this in the morning line-up newsletter yesterday and said we'd buy a test of 1300ish) and how that level also coincided with previous resistance as well […]
