Track the Market

"Avoid Train Wrecks - Keep the Cars on Track"
5D, 10m. - Apr. 24 - Compare this Chart with Thursday's.  We got a dramatic break out from the Wedge formation to the upside.  The market has remained in the Channel Trend Line (Railroad Tracks).
20D, 60m. - Apr. 24 - The Channel remains Bullish with the market price at the center line.  The Moving Averages are Bullish.  A pull back may be expected given the gap and trend to the upside on Friday.
3M, Daily - Apr. 24 - The market is still in a secular long term Bear Market.  Currently there is a Bear Market Rally.  At this time there are no signs of slowing down the momentum to the upside.  The Wedge formation, however, suggests a Monday morning pull back.  The odds are that the market should remain inside the Channel.

As the market opens it pays to watch the action of the first several 5m. candles.  Let the market show its hand.  Watch the internals (UVOL/DVOL & ADs).  Pay attention to the MACD and CCI for trend indications and confirmation.
