·       The S&P 500 has rallied again during the trading session on Friday, as traders celebrate the idea of the Chinese coming to the table. Because of this, we rallied again and filled the gap from earlier in the week. The question now is whether or not we can continue to go higher. I believe that the market continues to be very noisy overall, and I think that short-term pullbacks should be buying opportunities. I also recognize that the 2800 level should be massive support, and that it’s only a matter of time before buyers would come in on those dips unless of course tensions get worse between the Americans and Chinese. A break out to a fresh, new high should send this market to the 2900 level, and then perhaps even the 3000level. Earnings have been good, so barring external factors, there should be willing buyers.
