    My thoughts....This could be the start of a drop but looks more like a smart money shake to get the dumb money out. Nothing more than a guess but IMO volume is on the very low side for sustained selling. I'm still watching that 2813ish - 2816ish mark...and 2774 for floor (or maybe 2745 for a slightly longer term look...I haven't decided yet which one to watch). Until one of those solidly breaks then we remain in one of those ranges and direction is meandering.
    Thanks for the comments. Let's hope they are spot on. I spent some time this weekend reflecting on the moves I made in February and realized I fell into the trap of buying when the market was up and selling when it was down. So when I saw the market reverse just before the cutoff, to break the trend, I decided to take the plunge and buy the dip. Now all I have to do is figure out the best time to exit...

    OK...for me the range I am looking at is confirmed as 2745ish- 2816ish. I am hopeful that the markets recover, at lease short term, from here. I am getting more concerned and only consider the 2745ish as a weak floor. If we break below that this afternoon then I am looking at 2700 for next significant resistance (2732 may hold a bit but I don't think it will be solid resistance). If we go to 2700 then I expect lower highs with any rebound we get.

    As usual...these are just my pencil scratches and should be construed as nothing more than guesses

    I'm sticking with the same range...floor got stretched a bit but not the ceiling so I am not making a move off the pad till I see something to change my scratches....

    Unfortunately I am out of IFT's until 1 April. All I can do is grab my favorite adult beverage, put my feet up and watch the goings on...Then again, that might not be a bad position to be in...

    And 2816 is getting flirted with on futures trading. Only thing I can say is that I think a wind up is occurring. Won’t guess which way it will break though. A lot of liquidity looking for safe places. Normally I would look for a position in the F fund right now but not trusting it. When some analysts I read say that the US and Germany equities are such places it proves what a crazy world it is right now!

    3 April, 1979, the first day of a 32 year Air Force career. I can't believe it has been 40 years since that day. I wouldn't trade it for the world!

    18 Sep 1970 I got my first introduction to the green monster at Lackland AFB. Discharged 16 Apr 1974 and hired into NASA 20 May 1974. Retired from Federal service on 3 May 2012 with 38 years at NASA and 42 years total government service. I failed retirement when I hired in as a contractor at NASA on 19 May 2014.
    May the force be with us.

    Only reason I'm still in is the earnings getting reported after the bell today. Fingers crossed! I hope it is not a mistake to ride it one more day...as of now 2918 on the SnP held and we are climbing back.

    Hope the day ends positive for you!
