Suggested Trades:

SBA Communications (SBAC) buy 40.00, stop loss at 39.00, target 42.00. SBAC sold off on 3.21.11, but from there they recovered, pulled back and now have taken out the recovery high. This confirms and ABC to 41.79, this is in confluence with the high of 41.95 from 3.16.11.

Checkpoint Systems (CKP) buy 20.25, stop loss at 19.50, target 22.50. CKP has been channeling 19.50 to high 22’s. They bounced off of support mid last week. We are looking for a return to the channel highs.

This Morning:

See our mid-term update below.

This morning the futures are up a bit, Dow 32, Nasdaq 5, S&P 4

S&P 500

This past week was a volatile one, down sharply early, then recovering to positive. We are pushing against the recent highs, a triple top failure or a test coming off a higher low, allowing a break out ?? Either way, the markets are still in an uptrend, or neutral.

To the positive, we have more room to upside on the MACD, it is not showing overbought. The Stochastic is, but that is on the daily timeframe, the midterm says there’s more room to go.

All in all we are still holding OK, as you can see by the following daily chart of the S&P 500 we had nearly completed a standard 1/1 ABC, then retraced. Our retracement has not penetrated the bottom of the blue box, this is the 61.8% retracement, so even on a daily timeframe there is no damage done.

On the weekly candles, you can see that that the events of a few weeks were a mere blip on the screen, yet it was enough to define as a mid-term pullback.

So we remain cautious as the price of oil rises, unrest in the middle east, and Japan struggles with their natural disaster, however, there is starting be some strengthening in the Jobs. Weekly Jobless Claims have been moving down under 400,000 on the four week average, though about 330,000 would be preferable, and the economy is beginning to add Jobs. We have a buy signal with our stop below the low of 1249.
