Pre-Market Update: It was a bullish Thursday on Wall Street, as the major averages opened higher, set record highs and held positive territory throughout the day. It is hard to define “resistance” with the broader market setting fresh all-time highs, as the higher fluff targets I have given are coming into play. However, tech and the small-caps still have hurdles to clear before I go “all-in.”

Pre-Market Update: The knee-jerk reaction to the Fed minutes on Wednesday was expected, but the bulls had to wait for Janet Yellen’s comments before they were allowed to roam.

Pre-Market Update: I told you that it has been hard to bet against the bulls this year (and last), and yesterday they showed why. Of course, with volatility picking up and continued breaking headlines the rest of the week, the bears aren’t out of the game. However, yesterday’s action was a clear sign of momentum reversal, with the Dow setting an all-time record high.

Pre-Market Update: The bears did some damage on Monday despite the blue-chips trading higher, as the next waves of support came into play. The bulls did their best and held the attack while trying to regain some momentum, but yesterday’s fight was over shortly after it began.

Pre-Market Update: The month of September is always a tricky month to trade despite the historical patterns for fall pullbacks. They can’t always be counted on, however, as Septembers over the past few years have been bullish, but history may be returning to normal.

Pre-Market Update: The bulls showed up in the final hour of trading and nearly got the sweep on Thursday.

Pre-Market Update: The bulls showed some strength yesterday following the early morning weakness and avoided a late-day collapse to snap a two-session slide. The recovery in tech and the small-caps led the way, but the saber-rattling after the close is still a cause for concern.

Pre-Market Update: Apple (AAPL, $97.99, down $0.37) launched its first new product category in four years yesterday and, by the looks of things, the Apple Watch is going to be a hit. However, consumers will have to wait until 2015 for the slick new device.

Pre-Market Update: The bulls put up a good fight but eventually lost Monday’s battle with the bears. It was the first Monday loss in six weeks for the blue-chips, but support held despite the losses, while tech and the small-caps showed strength on the day.

Pre-Market Update: The bulls looked strong throughout the week, but the bears lingered around on the closes as the market faced two huge hurdles last week.

Pre-Market Update: The bulls failed to hold their opening gains on Thursday after the market reached fresh all-time intraday highs. The bears showed up in the final hour of trading to ruin the party, but the pullback into the close was a result of nervousness over this morning’s Nonfarm Payroll numbers.

Pre-Market Update: The market was choppy on Wednesday, as Wall Street seemed nervous regarding what the central banks from around the world may or may not do regarding their interest rates and monetary policies. News that there was a cease fire between Russia and Ukraine gave the bulls an early lift, but when those reports turned out to be bogus, the concern turned back towards the ECB (European Central Bank).

Pre-Market Update: The bulls had the momentum at the start of Tuesday’s trading, but lost traction midway through the session after another run at all-times highs. The bears didn’t do much damage as the market ended mixed, but volatility was elevated as Wall Street (and Washington) got back to work.

Pre-Market Update: The market finished August with stellar gains and at all-time highs on Friday, as the last trading day of the summer came to a close. The summer doldrums were anything but, as Wall Street vacationed and missed an incredible rally like I predicted they would.

Pre-Market Update: Today is the last trading day in August, and I said coming into the week that the bears would need a miracle to win August given the bulls’ substantial lead. Yesterday’s feeble attempt by the bears barely caused a scratch with the little blood they drew, and today’s action should be a good tell of how next week might play out.

Pre-Market Update: Wednesday was a day of rest for both the bulls and the bears, as the market traded in a tight range and finished flat for the most part. Tech traded to a fresh high but went unnoticed. Support held, so overall, it was a bullish session despite the lack of enthusiasm.

Pre-Market Update: The bulls continue to drop jaws and defy Wall Street’s gravity. Tuesday’s action produced fresh all-time highs, with the small-caps leading the way higher. Yes, the small-caps.

Pre-Market Update: The blue-chips extended their Monday win streak to five straight following an open and close into positive territory to start the week. The other major indexes followed suit, as they also finished in the green and once again left Wall Street feeling jealous.

Pre-Market Update: It was a wild week that had bullish tones throughout, as the bulls managed to push fresh all-time and new 52-week highs ahead of Friday’s Fed comments.

Pre-Market Update: The Dow jumped 60 points, or 0.4%, to end at 17,039. The blue-chips traded to a high of 17,074 and held the 17,000 level into the close. The next level of resistance is at 17,100 and the all-time high of 17,151.

Pre-Market Update: The market finished Wednesday’s session mixed following the release of the FOMC minutes. The usual rhetoric was used on when interest rates might rise, but Wall Street is waiting to hear it from the horse’s mouth on Friday before committing new money to the bulls.

Pre-Market Update: The bulls continued their climb towards both previous and fresh all-time highs, as the four major indexes finished Tuesday in the green for the second straight session, with the Nasdaq powering higher for five straight sessions.

Pre-Market Update: I have run out of toes and fingers to count on after hearing today’s headline throughout the year by many so-called market experts. Although the possibility of a market top could have been set yesterday, chances are that the bulls aren’t done, as the indexes continues to push my March, July and year-end fluff targets.

Pre-Market Update: The bulls will be trying to put the finishing touches on a strong week, and August option expiration has been bullish in recent years.

Pre-Market Update: While the Wall Street pros are away, I’ve been putting my money in play, as it has been a busy week. Despite the “worry” over low trading volume, the market has had a bullish tone this week, and I have been trying to take advantage of it.

Pre-Market Update: The market traded in a tight range for much of Tuesday’s action, with both the bulls and bears trying to gain traction inside the current trading range. The bears eventually won the struggle, but the clues remain mixed on how the rest of the week might play out.

Pre-Market Update: The bears gave Wall Street a scare last week as more slick-talking pros jumped ship, which culminated with Thursday’s test to the major moving averages (MAs).

Pre-Market Update: The warnings signs that lower lows were in store continued to come on Thursday, and the bears used the final hour of trading to confirm them. The bulls made an opening run at resistance but went into defensive mode an hour later and ran for the hills into the close.

Pre-Market Update: The market traded in a tighter range on Wednesday as Wall Street awaited word on what the European Central Bank (ECB) might do today regarding its current monetary policy.

Pre-Market Update: The Debbie Downers were once again running for cover as the bears made another attack at support on Tuesday. They succeeded by pushing lower lows for the week and the prior Friday lows.

Pre-Market Update: The bulls needed a big Monday win to slow the bears’ momentum and, after a sluggish start, the indexes made a run at resistance in the second half of yesterday’s trading session. The market held positive territory following the morning pullback and got stronger into the close as the blue-chips ended higher for the third straight Monday.
