Stock Market Indices Set to Trade Above Major Resistance
The SPY ETF appears ready to explode through the five weeks of resistance at the $294 level.
So what is the game plan? The conservative play is to wait for it to close above this level on the daily chart. To confirm that buyers are adding to positions as opposed to selling into strength.
The aggressive play is to trade the open range breakout to the long side. I'm looking to day trade but waiting for the first decline to look for an entry. The last 5 days have gapped higher or lower = massive indecision, so I will wait for confirmation for a new entry long.
