As I mentioned, I am watching price action on the S&P and I missed a great trade. If you look at the black upwards trendline I have drawn on the chart, you will see that the market used this as support as it made it's way up a few times.

A clean cross should happen either above 80 and move downwards or below 20 and move upwards Very strong upwards momentum
