Possible Short Opportunity

The SPY closed below $114.81 resistance suggesting potential weakness going forward. Tomorrow's open will be telling. There may be a short opportunity if SPY retests $114.81 in the morning. It traded even lower in after-market trading to close at $114.57. We will have to see how the Futures trade this evening and into the morning to know more.

We have had 6 straight days of positive gains. That alone suggests good odds for a potential pullback or consolidation. That would be a short term play to be aware of. But longer term there is still really no strong sign for a major market reversal. The market appears strong and there is really no point in trying to go against it yet.

Market Continues to Look Strong

In pre-market trading on the SPY, it indicates that we will gap up above the $114.81 minor resistance level. There are no bearish signs in the market right now... However, watch today closely to see if the SPY closes above the $114.81 resistance. If that happens, SPY should reach $116.50...
