NQ, yesterday’s close: Settled at 12,677.75, up 398.50 on Friday and 837.00 on the week
- We remain cautiously Bullish in Bias with a more intermediate-term focus, but from a trading perspective, a 10.3% bounce off the low and a rip through rare major four-star resistance by 80-some points in the S&P during holiday hours is reason enough to capitalize on our longs.
- As a trader, we plan to watch a few rounds, and look for entry again on the long side, will bring updates through the Midday Market Minute as the session unfolds.
- Friday intraday the S&P ripped through rare major four-star resistance aligning with the gap from the May 6th.

- We are taking a similar approach to the metals as we are with our long S&P/NQ Bias; Gold bounced 4.6% and Silver 10.0% from recent lows. It is time to monetize the trade and watch a few rounds.
- Let us not forget that end of the months, especially on expiration months, there has been added two-way volatility in Gold and Silver; encourages cautiousness today and ultimately as we lead into Nonfarm Payroll on Friday.
