1548-1549 seems to be prior resistance now support. I'm long from 1549.00 with a close stop below 1548, looking for a possible breakout to test 1552. 1552 will be the acid test of whether we go substantially higher or whether we pull back a bunch. Per the chart I posted some days ago, if we break convincingly through 1552 I can see a measured move to 1585.

I agree with your reasoning, but the stop at 1548 seems a little close. 1548 would actually be a good place for an ENTRY, as that was the low of the wide-range bar that saw new highs today.

If there is a breakout, and that breakout holds, then the upper 70's-low 80's would seem imminent; and I would therefore look to buy on a pullback.

Looks like you got the 52--now let's see if it holds.
 
.... what do you gentlemen see ....
... as for the chances of a decent entry point now (pullback) ?
...we are already at rule of 20 55.25 ... and i dont see any retracement pattern developing
 
CNBC: Pimco's Gross: Rates Could Fall to 3-3/4% In Next Year -- Bill Gross said that the subprime mortgage crisis will dominate Federal Reserve policy "over the next several years" and believes short-term U.S. interest rates could fall to 3-3/4 percent over the next six to 12 months.
 
I am out of my long at 1553.75 for +4.75. I may regret this, but just can't imagine going much further without a retracement and an opportunity to re-enter lower. (Watch it go to the moon.)
 
wouldn't it be perfectly natural for price to retrace to test breakout point of 49.75 +/- 1 pt especially during the lunchtime (I know, sometimes lunchtimes following strong mornings can see another lift in prices 12:25-12:55), but some sort of consolidation (short-term intraday) would be a common pattern.

That would be a small pullback indeed. a 38.2% pullback would be to 1547.75, and the usual near-50% pullback would be a retest of the 1544-45 area.

Although 1452 was the previous swing high, it turned out to be very weak resistance and we surpassed it like a hot knife though butter. Consequently, I wouldn't expect it to provide much support on the way down.
 
Here's an updated look at my "big picture" chart, showing us in the fifth wave up of a fifth wave up with a possible measured-move target of 1585.
