At Tuesday's close the futures looked like they needed to come down to a midpoint support at 943.10 to find traction. This would present a buying opportunity, since the Hidden Pivot is so nicely defined. Accordingly, I'll recommend bottom-fishing via a 943.20 bid, stop 942.60. Keep in mind, however, that if the support gets pulped, the futures would be telegraphing more downside over the near term to at least 931.40, the 'd' correction target associated with 943.10

– Posted in: Current Touts Free Rick's PicksWe'll breathe easier when the futures finally push above 935.80, but the significance of the move won't be as bullish as before, since the rally has been interrupted by a so far three-day correction from the recent high at 934.80.
