The Dow keeps moving higher as the most watched index rose 122 points on good volume. The advance/declines were positive. The summation index is moving higher. It was also a one day reversal to the upside as we opened lower and closed higher. Short term overbought to be sure now but that condition can last in a rally. I am looking at the SPY puts here for both January and February. But the timing will have to be pretty good if I try the Januaries. We are right at resistance of 2600 for the S&P. It's possible that we get above there but I do think we are at the end of upside for now. I should probably wait until we get to the 50 day moving average at 2635 but I don't think that we'll get there in the short term. We'll see. GE continues to the upside as it gained 3/8 on good volume. Gold was off five bucks as the US dollar was higher. The XAU lost 1 1/4, while GDX shed 1/3. Volume was light. Mentally I'm feeling OK. The market is now resilient. We've gone from a sell everything mode to an almost complete lack of sellers. I am positive longer term for equities but I just can't see things going much higher from here with all the near term overhead resistance. I do think that I'll let tomorrow pass since it's Friday and then check things out over the weekend. Cutting it short on the blog today as I have other matters to attend to. Europe and Asia were somewhat mixed. We'll close out the week tomorrow.
