AS I SEE IT: Quadruple witching did move the market up 205 points in the Dow and 23.25 points in the S&P, but much of the move took place in the overnight markets. The market broke out of its four day sideways price pattern and now is near resistance. Volume will be light next week but there are times when the market has very nice moves during the last few days of the year.
This has been a good day trading month and I would think there will be many more good ones to come.
I HOPE YOU HAD A PROFITABLE TRADING WEEK!
HAVE AN ENJOYABLE SAFE WEEKEND!
There’s no reason you can’t have as much fun trading as I do!
