Last week I marked Significant Buying once and no Significant Selling. On Friday ES auctioned higher to probe the band of Resistance between 1404 (1/2R) and 1408 (6mn poc). Friday’s Close was above Mon-Wed Hi-Lo Range which indicates Buyers Active on this timeframe.
Breadth: The ChartProfit Market Timing Charts stayed negative for all three Major Market Charts. %Stocks>50dyma numbers: Nyse 46; Nasdaq 35; UK 53. Numbers below 50% are not supportive.
Very tight band of important ES levels.
Six month poc = 1408; 1/2R off Sep high = 1404; major poc = 1397
Other KEY charts. Last week’s Key charts SPY and IWM retraced back above their important poc levels.
