April 24 Recap: Yesterday, Fearless opined: for April 24, "the best edge is fading moves", and that is pretty much how the DJIA played out today.  Sellers seized control early but couldn't break downside support.  Buyers struck back at noon and rallied the market back to its previous close.  Sellers got control again and drifted the market sideways to a closing loss.  

For April 27, Fearless opines:  Failed upside attempts persist. DJIA is transitioning from Chop to Controlled Drift Down.  Expect weak bounces to fade unless 49,400 is reclaimed early.

Opening Hour Indication: 

10:00 AM:   Fearless will be traveling Monday and unavailable for opening hour updates.
