Today has been a choppy in-between day as SPX/ES has tested strong support and, so far at least, failed either to convert it to resistance and continue down, or rally strongly from it. However, we are likely to see one or the other of those soon and I'm surprised that the process has taken as...

Testing Key Support
Yesterday's promising start to the downtrend has continued today and brought ES & SPX down to test important trend support at the weekly pivot on ES at 2749 and the 50 hour MA on SPX now at 2751. SPX is trading about 4 handles below ES today. A decent confirmation that support is breaking would...

Buffing Fingernails Modestly
Stan and I were saying in the monthly free public Chart Chat on Sunday that the last day of the cycle high window was today and we were expecting to see a rally high made by the end of the day. You can see the recording of that here. There was obviously no doubt in our...

The Blue Pill
ES gapped up over resistance on the NFP numbers this morning, and we are running the second option that I was looking at on the intraday video yesterday. ES is likely to hit the rising channel resistance I was looking at yesterday and that is now in the 2785 area. Ideally that gets hit today....

The Thin End Of The Wedge
On the video today the first bit where I was looking at the action so far as a likely bull flag that should deliver a retest of the HOD is now obviously out of date, as the flag then broke up and made target, and we have a new HOD. That was unfortunately only of...

Rally Ending?
The hourly buy signals on ES, NQ, SPX, and NDX all reached target today and the RSI 5 buy signal on RUT has reached target as well. Only the hourly RSI 14 buy signal on RUT hasn't yet reached target and that is weakened by fixing at the same time as the RSI 5 buy...

Rally Time

Hold Or Fold
Obviously, the rejection candle opportunity for bears yesterday was a one day only thing, and that day has passed. What we are seeing today is a decent little retracement that has a chance to grow into a larger backtest of the daily middle band. I'm talking about that in the video below: Intraday Video from theartofchart.net -...

Breaking Over A Daily Middle Band – Day Two
SPX and RUT both broke with confidence over their daily middle bands on Friday and such a break is a two-day process. Bears get a potential "Get Out Of Jail Free" card the next day if they can deliver a rejection candle that closes back below the middle band, and bulls need to deliver a...
