I was all about jumping in but I looked at other articles and I saw Trump was at it again, threatening tariffs. That really spooked me for I lost 1/5 my account, last December. I'll wait for a better time.
2 IFT's! That's it, Be cautious & WISE!

A little pullback in bonds today - just enough to fill another gap. So, all gaps are filled above the flag. This looks bullish for the F-fund - unless those gaps within the flag get some attention.

Big rally in stocks today after the jobs number thumps estimates, and doubles the "whisper number". Another gap was opened. The question is, will this be one of those rare "runaway" gaps that doesn't get filled (maybe months or years down the road) or will it be like the more typical open gap that gets filled relatively quickly, like so many on this chart?
The Transports gapped up but also filled another gap and may be stalling and coming off the highs - although it's still early in the day.
Seasonality shifts to a more negative bias next week and the trade deal deadline is the 15th.

The Volatility Index is down this morning, but trying to hold above that 200-day EMA. Is it just me, or does it feel like something's about to happen to get this to bounce here? It's probably just me.

Breakout - up to the bottom of the old support line. It could be a roadblock, although the resistance line is rising...

I think that a lot of people are going to believe the Santa rally is starting early and we're off to the races!
Unless the new tariffs get implemented on Sunday. This was just another "on again" trade tweet from Pres. Trump.
