World Markets are mixed and US Markets/Futures are slightly Up.
QQQQ/SPY are currently Trading at 43.50 / 109.67
QQQQ Resistance and Support: use the values shown in the S&R boxes on the Annotated Charts I posted in my AMC Commentary last night and before.
Check out the Economic Events due out today . . . there is only the Existing Home Sales at 1000.ET along with some Fed speaking .. esp. Bernanke at 0830.ET.
