Hello SpikeTraders,Yesterday I headlined my NHNL post “Bulls withstand an attack.” I explained why the structure of Wednesday’s down-day (S&P lost 30 points) actually reflected bulls’ strength. The biggest factor of course is our recent Spike signal. The shorter-term factor – bulls’ ability to lift the market off the day’s lows after a bear attack and ram it back into the trading range. Today those bulls followed up on yesterday’s partial success by adding 75 points to the S&P500.Let’s look at our charts…

The Nasdaq was the weakest, closing down over 2% as the S&P500 was down 32-points, and the Dow Jones Industrials closed marginally higher by 48-points. With today’s mixed action, what clues can we glean from the charts to see if the Spike Signal and Spike Bounce signal will be strong enough to provide additional upside for the rally?
