Intraday Comment:

Our Alerts viewers were short at the time I wrote this, but the Market was also largely doing what we were anticipating.  It is flirting with resistance and pulling back some, but again, according to the expanded view, the more important support levels have already been tested and they have already held, and these resistance levels are weaker than those support levels were.  That tells us to have a positive bias so long as longer term support levels hold, and even though our trading strategies are net short right now that is the exact bias our combined analysis suggests. 

The easiest thing to do is just follow the strategy you have selected or that you have developed for yourself, and don't diverge from your rules.  If you must have an opinion though, our analysis tells us to expect modest pullbacks as noted, but then the market can increase within the longer term channels, so the pullbacks now are likely to be temporary.  This will be true so long as longer term support holds, and until longer term resistance is tested.

Stocks to Watch:

TJX	Testing longer term support
WLP	Testing longer term support
LOW	Testing longer term support
CAT	Testing longer term resistance
UNP	Testing longer term resistance
UPS	Breaking Below longer term resistance
FCX	Breaking Below longer term resistance
NKE	Breaking Below longer term resistance

 No other stocks appeared prominently on my general filter this morning, but that can change as the day goes by.  You can conduct the same filter yourself as well, and you should because I will not be sending another email alert about this.  In order to find stocks that look interesting because they are testing longer term support or resistance do this.

1. Click the link below for long term filters
2. Click each of the 4 choices (I call them quadrants)
3. When trading plans are displayed look at the price targets.
4. Stocks that have a price target that equals N/A should be noted
5. N/A means that there are no immediate support or resistance levels on a loner term basis, and that means the stock is testing longer term extremes.  This qualifies it for my radar inclusion when I review stocks in the morning.
