Crude Oil is bullish, but a recent strong move lower tells me to look for sellers to try again, and I’ll be waiting for them to fail for buying opportunities back to the monthly highs tomorrow.

S&P is bullish, but trading at the high of a “V-Bottom” pattern isn’t very reliable, so I’m looking to use the ‘battle zone’ and seller-failure to buy the pullback tomorrow.

Nasdaq looks bearish at first, but the recent “spike” higher tells me to watch for the sellers to try and fail before looking for buying opportunities back to the highs.

Gold is bearish with a Spike & Range, and my goal is to use a key “reversal-line” overhead for selling-opportunities tomorrow.

Euro appears to be bearish at first, but looking at the bigger picture tells me that this may be an excellent place to look for buying opportunities tomorrow.

"The remarkable thing we have is a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past... We cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude."
