Featured Breadth Chart of the Day:
Nice bounce up on the New Highs. Watching the jobs number today. We could get an overreach. It is hard to tell if good news equates to good market news or not.
Quote of the Day:
The hunger for love is much more difficult to remove than the hunger for bread.
–Mother Teresa
Comments and Levels for the Front (S&P 500 – E-mini futures) contract:
Short: 1780
Long: 1715
We have dropped our lower target yet again to 1715 now. We would like to see 1780 hold although we can see a future with 1800 in it. We do expect to be drilling deeper than 1732 in the days ahead.
