up or down does not matter, give me volatility. Now that they tell us all these traders are back, let us have a few 500-point DOW days. Can't make money with 100-point DOW moves. 914/916 or 895/898 support - if it breaks 895 then all the way down to 950 ... 935/937 and 956/960 resistance... if it breaks out above 960 then 1025 in a few days.
BTW, the new high made on friday was a 20 days tight range HH breakout. It can trigger tons of trend following funds to at least tighten their stops on short position, not even talking about going long.
