Updated 3/31 for Thursday's market.
Key DOW Levels for 4/1
UP Above 10,400
DN Below 10,300
Holding
Dow trades quietly sideways, stays above resistance.
From prior commentary, "...The Dow got the upside break late in the day, which fueled a solid push higher to the Close. Look for continued strength above 10,300 tomorrow, unless this level is crossed to the downside..."
The Dow traded mostly sideways the entire session today, staying above the key 10,300 level throughout, as seen in the 15 and 60 Minute Charts. The index looks to be gearing up for another solid push, however, we must wait for a break through either 10,300 or 10,400 before we act.
A downside break below 10,300 will likely push the index back down toward 10,200 or beyond, while an upside break through 10,400 could spark a move toward 10,600. The Dow may continue trading sideways within the 10,300 to 10,400 window before a break either way is seen, however.
Short Term Dow
Short term, the Dow has formed a clear trend line across the highs of the late-day decline, seen in the 1 Minute Chart. An upside break through the line at 10,365 will make for strength at the Open.
Medium Term Dow
In the medium term, we closed overnight Longs today at the entry, giving us a breakeven trade. We later re-entered Long at 10,400, but stopped out with a 20 point loss. We are now out of the market and will watch 10,400 up, and 10,300 down, with 20 point stops.
NASDAQ & S&P
The NASDAQ and S&P each traded sideways throughout the session today, ending the day slightly lower. Look for continued sideways movement until a clear and solid break from the range occurs. *
Summary
The Dow continues to hold above the 10,300 level, which implies sustained strength. However, should the index break below this level, look for a sharp decline to follow. An upside push through 10,400 will make for another solid rally.

Ftse closed under s1 on Wed, gained .1 in the auction so zero clues there! Break of uptrend off last week, bearish dow 10360 with comformation of trend change through 10300, 60 min sigs on ftse now bearish 4409 cash and 2 day chart bearish sub 4405, break through these levels may warrant longs imho, pos fresh month buying may help, but for Thu i,m taking short sigs unless upper figs broken to the upside!IMHO

I assume you are still watching SKP (you may even have bought last nights dip back below 60p) they announced this am that they are still negotiating the deals and that the reults and annoucnements will be on or before April 29th - ie they will announce when all the deals are done or wait until the last day of the 120 days they have after the financial year end. Quite fitting for SKP it was announced on the morning of April 1st!!!!! As I said before i believe the share price will be solely determined by the announcement and the quality of the three deals and when they are achieved - yet again it appears they are struggling to meet their self-imposed timescales - still holding but even more nervously now.

Hi Fundamentalist.
SKP moved too rapidly off the 60p support for me to get the entry
point on the news.
I'm afraid it's now in no-mans land between support and resistance,
so my trading discipline won't allow me to take a position.
They are certainly taking this to the wire!
Hope it all comes good for your LTBH position.
If they get the deals nailed down OK, you will be on a nice
little earner. If it all pans out it could easily go over 80p.
Fingers crossed for you, if it comes good I'll wait for a profit taking
retracement and then take a position if the overall market is positive.
Melnibone.
