Yes- they want to run it to 1320 they are long, in the interim if rally falters we get out below 1299 below 1288, I am definitely out and see the action tomorrow, but I will watch the mother of techs SOX action if it stays above 372 and NDX does not break the 2040 support I will not be much bothered, the main problem would be if 2015 is taken out that will be a big reversal indicating a test of gap to 1251.. 855 on BKX is also a great support a break of that is indicator of reversal which may take us to that unfilled gap..
