Click on the chart below to blow it up
The market bounced sharply at the end of last week with a low around 45.00. Major support comes in at around 44.80.
We wouldn't be surprised if this level is tested again busting out all the early longs before putting in a strong rally. Our strategy is simple, do nothing until last week's low is tested and it hits 44.80 or below. Then all things being equal look to enter on the long side with a tight stop.
If this pans out it could offer an excellent risk/reward.
