D.

hello, nice read as always croc, 'glad' to know im not alone in not been able to pick a winner

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.

Ftse looking a little overbought now, pos new trading range 4430 to 4490/500! Dow next res 10500/520 the area where it broke down, pos some short term strength next week but will be looking for some weakness myself! see dow chart below!

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.

Morning croc et al:

Long Sainsbury on takeover news

Morning all

Nice to see so many posters, please keep posting. (You never know we may catch up with the traders room!)

I think the dealers (and some of the direct access traders) have all gone on holidays - some of the spreads are a bit wide for the time of day.

Boss of IKEA takes over from Bill Gates as the worlds richest man.

Boss of IKEA? I thought Warren Buffett took over from Bill Gates a few months ago?

Skp have finally announced the European Depomorphine deal and the price is now testing the 68p resistance. 2 more deals (hopefully) and a horrible set of results to come - could be an interesting few weeks - any views appreciated
