Well, 9480 didn't hold, but we found a double bottom at 9450 that may be the turning point. While we're on the subject, it really doesn't matter what the dow holds for the future, be it 9000, 8000 or 12,000. We are only interested on daily volatility and being on the right side of the market, most of the time....If I say, in response to the question " where are we heading next week" 8000;- It really doesn't matter a hoot as far as trading the dow goes.I don't even care whether it goes up or down tomorrow, so long as it moves somewhere new!
Any way , today was a mixture,producing a "W" and a "double Inv H&S" bottom at 9450. From that point there was an excellent rally into the close, finishing 10 points off HOD at 9616.
It is encouraging to see a TA formation performing at a bottom on the 10 min chart, in exactly the same way that we see on the 1 min chart- confirmation of the TA formation as it crosses the 100 MA....at 9575. A sort of bounce off the middle trend line and close above the 100MA should lead to some more upside, but watch downtrend resistance at 9664 ish... Phase has moved from heavily negative into positive territory but it may be a case of too much too quick into the close.
100MA: 9577. Support: 9606, 9564,9530,9485. Resistance: 9650,9700
