Hi Testex,
Nice to hear from you again.
You're right, 'JR' Browne is still 'whupping' them. :-)
Been Spreadbetting the S@P last month.
Ref my CMC Cfd's, had some great opportunities for intraday and
overnight scalps with some of my favourite Blue Chip trading shares.
MKS, SHEL, SBRY, LGEN, HSBA. All took big hits and rebounded nicely.
OOM has been good with all the takeover rumours. Every time it dropped
below 101p I bought it, and every time it dropped below 100p I
'Filled my Boots'. :-))
I think that's the standard phrase used for ramping, isn't it? :-))))
Have a look at a 3 month GSK chart.
You can stick a ruler along it. (or should that read 'Down It').
Melnibone.

I like ironing the frilly things, Testex.
I think my psyche must have damaged when I first heard
Pink Floyd play 'Arnold Layne' in the 1960's. :-))
I fear that I've never been the same since. ;-)
I bet there's a load of young sprogs scratching their heads
now, who've never heard 'Arnold Layne', wondering what I'm
talking about. :-))
Melnibone.

Updated 4/2 for Monday's market.
Key DOW Levels for 4/5
UP Above 10,500
DN Below 10,400
Strong Session
Dow rallies sharply at Open, holds gains throughout session.
From prior commentary, "...The index continues to develop the upward-sloping consolidation that is forming at the highs of the recent advance...we've often seen these consolidations work out to the upside, so we will continue to monitor both the upper and lower boundaries for breaks..."
The Dow got a sharp rise at the Open this morning, which boosted the index toward new highs, seen in the 15 and 60 Minute Charts. The index back-filled shortly after the Open, but eventually established a clear support level at 10,425, which helped protect a 97 point gain.
Looking at the 60 Minute Chart shows that the Dow ended the week at the highs of the uptrend. The steady advance in the market as not been met by any significant pull-backs, therefore we will watch 10,425 for a break to indicate a likely pull-back within the current overall uptrend Monday.
Otherwise, look for continued strength above this support level. The fact that Dow has formed a tight consolidation at the highs of the current uptrend from 10,425 to 10,475 indicates further upside is very likely. Watch this range closely.
Short Term Dow
Short term, the Dow has formed a clear trend line beneath the lows of the 1 Minute Chart. A downside break of the line at 10,460 will likely make for early weakness Monday morning.
Medium Term Dow
In the medium term, we are still out of the market, since none of our entry levels were triggered. We will now watch 10,500 up, and 10,400 down Monday; using 20 point stops.
NASDAQ & S&P
The NASDAQ and S&P gapped up this moring, each holding on to gains throughout the session. Look for a continued trend higher, with the possibility of intermediate pull-backs. *
Summary
The Dow opened the session in fierce fashion this morning, and was able to hold on most of the gains throughout the day, which is positive heading into Monday's market. Look for continued strength above 10,400 Monday. Otherwise, a break below 10,400 could spark weakess within the overall uptrend.
