Trader Update - data point 18 February 2011 -

..the SPX 500 in striking distance of the 75% retrace of the 2007-2009 Break *1348_current *1365 upper channel resistance on the 1-yr weekly trading set-up. So far in today's session, the market continued higher - no mucking around -setting another 52-wk High *1344 intraday so far

...the index now in key resistance territory, a platform from where a sharp, bearish strike may be delivered to an overly complacent trading community. The logic of a 'Lock-In profit' strategy makes sense, subject to further development. *** Bingo ***

Kind Regards
