On the hourly chart, three bullish patterns shown in the accompanying chart were driving this vehicle as last week drew to a close. The first, at 1360.50 is effectively spent since it’s just two ticks above Friday’s high.  Assuming the futures get past it Monday morning, the next lies at 1378.25 and thence 1398.75.  Judging from the ease with which the rally pushed past the 1337.75 midpoint pivot associated with the lower number, it’s probably a done deal.  However, if it gives way easily we should expect the rally continue to the higher, implying a perhaps 350-point rally in the Dow. _______ UPDATE (11:16 a.m. EDT):  The futures are trading inconsequentially lower today, screwing the pooch until DaScumballs can get another short-squeeze going. With a Wednesday holiday to kill trading for the entire week, their task will be difficult but not impossible.  Look for more pooch-screwing in the day’s ahead, leading to an attempt on Friday to goose stocks higher when volume has dried up to nearly nothing.
