For today's Mid-Day Minute, Mike writes: Now the E-mini June S&P has clawed its way back to the proximity of the resistance line off of the March 15th rally peak (which cuts across the price axis this PM at 1185.50), I am starting to get preliminary signals that the upmove from 1168.75 to 1184.25 is at or is nearing completion. A sustained decline below 1181 (now at 1182) will provide additional evidence that "something ended up there at 1184.25," and that the index is on its way to test more critical micro support at 1177.50. At this juncture, only another pop above 1185.50 will argue that the index likely is heading for its maximum recovery potential- in the 1190 to 1193 target zone. For now, we will remain short.
