S&P 500 Futures_

Monthly – Continuing to test the highs. Trade pressures are up. Volumes closed bullish for the month of April.

Weekly – In a retracement off the 2100 highs. Trade pressures are up but very extended. Volumes remain neutral.

Daily – Short. In the move down from the 2072 short entry price. Trade pressures are down. Volumes have changed from bearish to bullish at the week’s end; maybe just a bounce off the 2015 year-end close.

The next target down is 2020.

A close above 2072 could start a new move up. Use 2072 as stop for the short.

[5-10-16: stopped out at the 2072 level.]
