Good Friday morning!




The S&P notched another new all time high yesterday and the buyers still seem to be in la la land. Don't get me wrong, there has been a lot of positive, pro growth news out of the new administration but gap after gap after gap usually leads to some kind of liquidation break. That being said, just keep playing the game to the long side but be on the lookout for any sharp, quick rug pull.




In the profile pic and key targets below, you can see the late day spike where futures exploded higher and left what is called an "excess high" on top of its range built during the day. The all important level today will be 6140 as this is the bottom of the spike and the overnight low. If the bulls can manage to hold this level then buyers are still in control. Any break down below 6140, look for the POC then lower targets! It is really that simple for today. I'm calling it a "put up or shut up" day to see just how committed the bulls truly are! Futures are trading @ 6143 at the time of this writing.




VPOC Update: No new VPOC was added yesterday however 6136 was taken out above with the strong rally. So we now only have 2 above and still 31 below.
