Good Evening,

Today was another day of give and take and yes, we’re still in the zone… The S&P 500 moved up to resistance at 1890 and was repelled, putting us right back into our trading zone between 1840 and 1890. Let’s look at things and try to determine if the market will take another shot at breaking that overhead resistance….

SPY is still struggling below the resistance zone.
It’s been day to day on whether it is best to be in equities or not. The last few days have gone to equities. Several days before tha,t bonds and cash worked better. Lately, it has really depended on what time of day you check the market as to whether you are up or down regardless of where you are invested. The bottom line is that this market acts an awful lot like it is putting in a top. I still favor a deeper correction sometime in May. Either way, I’ll do what the charts tell me, but I will be mentally prepared for a correction. That’s all for tonight. May God continue to bless your trades.
Have a nice evening!

    Good Morning, Well this months almost over and so far the major indices are still holding modest gains in the +1.5% range. If we can manage to hold onto or add to those gains we will have achieved what a lot of folks said we could not do. We will have made a profit when…

    Good Morning, Well we got the Fed meeting that we wanted with a quarter point interest rate decrease with the indication that the Fed is planning on two more rate cuts in 2025. As a result, we find ourselves in the odd position of holding a profit in late September. I said in last weeks…
