  • It has recently touched a high of 6060.00 (+0.7%), clearing the bull trigger at 6053.25 (Nov 11 high) to open 6070.16 (1.382 proj of Sep 6-17-18 price swing) after which lies 6103.88 (1.500 proj of the same swing).

  • E-minis: S&P 500 (+0.7%), Nasdaq 100 (+0.9%), Dow Jones (+0.7%) and Russell 2000 (+0.4%).
