YESTERDAYS WRAP UP - 980-970 range tightens further. 970 support area tested all day in choppy fashion.  Market tried to break thru  lower, couldn’t, and then worked its way back to top of ever continuing and tightening range   

 

TODAY’S OPENING GAP/1500 PRICE VOLUME ANALYSIS - Mechanical trend starts up with gap above 980-970 range (as of this writing). This can be an explosive breakout higher, or a failure to move higher once the session starts trading.   

 

BRACKETS/PULLBACK TO SWING ANALYSIS - After 5 days of overlapping action, odds favor a strong breakout higher, but you never know until trading begins…Watch for a trend day up to develop, but also watch for an opening  failure back into range.   

 

DAILY CHART (BIG PICTURE) ANALYSIS - Bounce off big picture 950-870 bracket low at 870 started move back to 950.   As long as breakout above 950 area holds, we start a new daily bracket higher and watch for signs of a reversal to set a new daily bracket high.  It looks like after days of tight overlapping daily action, we are breaking out higher to move to big picture target in the 1050-1000 area.

YESTERDAYS WRAP UP - As expected we tested lower 970 support. Market, tried to break thru  lower, couldn’t, and then worked its way back to top of ever continuing and tightening range near 980   

 

TODAY’S OPENING GAP/1500 PRICE VOLUME ANALYSIS - Mechanical trend starts down near lower end of 980-970 range. A bigger overnight breakdown than yesterday, so we will  watch to see if volume early points to a sign of a deeper range pullback to 960 area to start.   

 

BRACKETS/PULLBACK TO SWING ANALYSIS - Range trading if price stays inside 980-970 range. If so, a powerful breakout is developing will eventually occur as we are at 5-days of overlapping daily price action.  Pullback to swing around 960- 955 support maintains big picture bias up

 

DAILY CHART (BIG PICTURE) ANALYSIS - Bounce off big picture 950-870 bracket low at 870 started move back to 950, As long as breakout above 950 area holds, we will start a new daily bracket higher and watch for signs of a reversal to set a new bracket high.
