As expected, the market continued to move in a tight range today from 24,400 to 24,800. I would expect a solid break to occur from it Friday or Monday, which should be imminently tradeable intra-day. From there, we need to watch the major levels that are marked in the charts.

A solid break of 24,800 up will tell us the market is going higher – at least short term, But a break of 24,400 will indicate short term weakness. Then, we need to keep watching 23,000. As long as that level holds, we should see more upside — in a market that wants to go up.
