      This is the New High / New Low ratio chart and it continues to move sideways, note how the markets trended last time we did the same thing, all the way through January.

      ES SP500 Futures Comments:

      Short: 1561
      Long:  1537

      We hit the 1557 head and shoulders target and that has us moving up our top box by just inches.  We don't see a thrust up through here but instead a spot that should exhaust and take a step back for an attempt at new highs.   We think that step back could take us to the 1537 area, but we are not sure of which inch is going to be inch to far yet.

      Today is the last day OPEX week, it will spill a bit into Monday morning's trading.  Until we see a crack one way or another we need to think higher on low volatility. Our intraday ticks look great and our A/D line on the NYSE yesterday was nearly 2:1.  That is bullish.

      Take today off, or come back and watch the close.. Action will most likely have to wait until next week.

      Enjoy the weekend.

      US Dollar DX Futures Comments:

      A decent sell off in the Dx overnight.. we haven't had time this AM to evaluate, but there could be some fuel here for higher stock prices.
