PCE inflation data for October released earlier today came in-line with expectations and had little impact on the markets.

Dow Jones futures (US30) climbed above the 35,500 pts resistance zone this week. However, traders should be aware of a potential false breakout. This was the case back at the turn of July and August when the index managed to break above the aforementioned 35,500 pts resistance but has reversed shortly afterward and an over-9% correction was launched. On the other hand, should bulls managed to hold onto gains and definitely clear the 35,500 pts area, there are no more major resistance levels ahead of the all-time highs in the 36,800 pts area. The 36,250 pts swing zone may offer some short-term resistance.
