Dear Trader,
 
The market rallied today (for a change I was right when I wrote two days ago that a break of 1277 can trigger 1300...). However, volume was low and we have a long weekend ahead of us so I am curious to see the market action tomorrow on the last trading day for August and ahead of Labor Day weekend.

Dear Trader,
 
Market penetrated the 1277 resistance level and backed from the next resistance level at 1285. Some what of a sluggish bounce that can either pick up steam or folds after tomorrow's early morning reports.  1291 is a level to watch in case we rally, 1262.50 important level if we pick up speed on the way down.
