The markets are showing some hesitation at their current levels, but haven't fully committed to a correction just yet. Any time that a chart breaks out of resistance, the probability of corrective action increases. We never want to make trades in anticipation of when this will happen or guess how much of a correction we will get, but we should always be prepared for when it happens. Continue to take advantage of the short-term by using weekly expirations and non-directional combos.
So far, we haven't seen a strong move lower, but we are early in the week and could see more of a definitive move later. The current market sentiment remains bullish. The next pullback will be a welcome indicator of bullish strength as we move into the end of the year. Keep an eye on support levels, especially the most recent levels broken by the markets.
