ES analysis: Monday’s session generated a lower Value Area but entirely above 2135.00 (minor poc), see Thursday’s highlighted comments. Overnight there was a brief test of 2135 and then a rally back above 2150 which has faded. Two hours pre-open ES prints just above 2140.

Supporting Charts:
Bonds: TLT – following the weak pattern in August (see previous analysis) the chart fell sharply. Last week and Monday saw a rally but TLT remains in a weak price location below138.33, the 1/2R Resistance off the June high.
Dollar Index: The 1/2R off Dec high Resistance is at 96.21. This was probed and rejected last week. Price above that level would put the chart in a stronger position. Support lower at 94.76 (2yr poc).
Gold: GLD rallied last week but still prints below 127.85 (1/2R off July high). Price above that level would put the chart in a stronger position. The major poc Support is at 118.22 (maj poc).
Oil: USO – closed above 10.06 (1/2R off Feb low) on Friday. Resistance at 10.78, the 18mn poc. Price above that level would be a positive.
EURUSD: the 4yr poc is now at 1.1165 and the chart is currently printing above that level in a strong price location.
