Some nice action in the S&Ps today. As I mentioned in yesterday's review, we've observed Responsive Buying and Responsive Selling all week, and today was much of the same. Responsive Sellers quickly rejected higher prices, and once price moved below 1167, Responsive Buyers quickly pushed price back up. 1167-1169 was the Area of heavy acceptance this week. This up move is losing momentum though. The previous week's high was 1176.50, and the high for this week so far is only one handle higher at 1177.50. If price gets below 1158, and longs begin liquidating, we could easily get a pullback to the 1139-1141 area.
Btw, I've received questions regarding the arrows on the 5-Minute charts I post in the daily reviews. To clarify, the arrows are NOT plotted automatically. I manually place those arrows on the charts where I see good setups (a lot of times within the Key Areas posted the night before). Some of the arrows are actual trades that I took (e.g. I shorted 1177 and went long at 1167 today). But not all of them are my trades. I don't plot all my trades on the 5-minute chart; just the setups. Hope that clears things up.
The markets are closed tomorrow for Good Friday, so enjoy the day off and have a good weekend!

Hi EminiPlayer,
ReplyDeleteHow did you know to go long @1167, as it was not one of your key levels from prior night's analysis?
1167-1169 is an area of heavy acceptance (volume). 1167 was the Globex Open, 1167.75 was the Previous Close, 1165.75 was the Overnight Low as well as the Pivot. I didn't know whether price would retrace back to 1173, but I expected a profit-taking bounce in the 1166-1167 area.
ReplyDeleteWe also had positive NYSE TICK Divergence there
ReplyDeletePhileo & emini - I had the same area tagged(1166)for a potential afternoon long entry - but from a little different angle - it was the equivalent level for an $SPX gap fill that had been created that morning. Worked great, just came out of the trade. - Bullethead
