Emini S&P December futures still just drifting aimlessly after the long holiday weekend. We are still holding just above minor support at 4542/38 to keep bulls in control & perhaps on the next leg higher we can reach my next target of 4591/94, perhaps as far as 4615/19 eventually.
Strong support again at 4542/38. Longs need stops below 4533.
A break lower risks a slide to 4505/00 & even 4480/75 is possible.
Nasdaq December futures edged higher to 16173 last week as we look for 16300 next target. Further gains can target 16390/410.
We have held a very tight range from around 15940/920 up to 16090/16120 for a week.
The best buying opportunity should be at 15850/830 & longs need stops below 15770. We should also have strong support at 15700/660.
Emini Dow Jones December continues higher through 35080/35100 to my next targets of 35170/190 & 35230 & now we are edging above 35400/450, so we look for 35570/590. Further gains this week can target 35650/670.
Support again at 35390/360. Longs need stops below 35250.
