Good Monday morning!! 



We hope you all had a great Thanksgiving Holiday and a very relaxing weekend. Lots of good food and football...what could be better?!?!



Well, now lets get back to business!!



The rocket ship bull market continues as the S&P, DOW and RUSSELL hit new all time highs again last week, and I believe it is now north of 50 record setting days in 2024 alone! That is quite impressive. The only market that did not hit all time highs last week was the tech heavy NASDAQ, as there has been some profit taking in the FANGMAN stocks. Aside from the "lagging" NASDAQ, we apparently have inflation still coming down, a historically low unemployment rate, strong consumer spending and a dovish FED..... just to name a few reasons for this continued strength, not to mention corporate profits are still coming in well on earnings releases. All of these factors are contributing to the "sticky" bullish tone in the markets!



For today, any price action above 6025 in the S&P cash, and above 6040-6045 in the ES futures, is continued edge to the bulls. It's literally that simple. If sellers step up their operations, then any break below 6040 in the ES can we then look for lower targets. Any price action that gets and stays above 6051.75 then look for upper targets. Overnight inventory is net short and we are opening inside of Friday's range. This tells me it could be tricky on determining early market direction! Keep an eye on target levels and profile pic below.



Futures are flat to mixed this morning and they are trading @ 6051 at the time of this writing. Also, we do have some potential market moving economic data @ 10:00 AM EST so please stay alert.





VPOC Update: A new VPOC was added below @ 6015 on Friday so still none still above and 29 below current price.
