Bears got the worst of it yesterday after a promising opening that saw the Dow fall about 60 points.  Alas, the respite was short-lived, and the remainder of the day amounted to a herky-jerky rally that probably annoyed shorts more than scared them. That mood may last until the opening bell, but with new record highs just five points away, don’t expect bears to feign zen calmness for long. Traders looking to board ahead of the next upthrust should look for external peaks to leverage on the 5-minute chart. I’ve labeled a few just so you get the idea.
