posted 09.00 a.m. est pre-open comment Friday 15th February On Thursday Significant Buyers Responded (green-at-bottom) very early in the session to a brief probe below the lowest VAL of the last five days.  This suggests Buyers are still in control of the of the dayframe with any Selling imbalances so far proving ineffective.  “Effective” Selling […]

posted 09.08 a.m. est pre-open comment Thursday 14th February Strictly applying my rules I had to mark Responsive Selling on Wednesday but this was Ineffective because yesterday’s Value Area was overlapping/higher. Even so, new long trades are now eliminated for me at least until Significant Buying is marked again. ES printing 1522 would negate any […]

posted 08.47 a.m. est pre-open comment Wednesday 13th February Tuesday’s session generated a higher, narrower Value Area on increased Volume (although Volume has been below the 20dy average for the last three day). Aggressive Buying was marked (green-at-top).  Still no markable Response from the Sellers. Dayframe: 7day poc is at 1513.  This is minor Support […]

posted 09.11 a.m. est pre-open comment Tuesday 12th February Monday’s session generated a narrow Value Area in the same area of price as Friday.  Still no markable Response from the Sellers. First Level Support = 1495 (40dy poc) %Stocks>50dyma numbers: Nyse 83% and Nasdaq 75%.  Numbers >50 are supportive.  Numbers>80 usually considered overbought. My version […]

ES found Support at 1495 First Level Support on Thursday and closed the week above the high of Mon-Wed hi-lo range which is positive weekly structure once again. A number of Sentiment indicators are at, […]

posted 9.09 a.m. est pre-open comment Friday 8th February Thursday’s session generated an overlapping/lower, wider Value Area on increased Volume.  I wrote pre-open yesterday that “as long as ES holds above 1495 it is a minor sign of strength”. First Level Support at 1495 was tested and held with ES rallying in the afternoon.  This […]

posted 09.17 a.m. est pre-open comment Thursday 7th February Wednesday’s session generated an overlapping, narrower Value Area.  Responsive Buying (green-at-bottom) was marked.  I’m not sure how significant that was but the Buyers didn’t let ES fall below 1500 during the session and strictly applying my rules new short trades are eliminated for me at least […]

posted 09.21 a.m. estpre-open comment Wednesday 6th February Please see previous comments highlighted on graphic. Tuesday’s session generated a higher Value Area but pre-open today has printed down towards yesterday’s low.  No Significant Imbalances have been marked for four days but ES is currently holding and consolidating at this higher level of price in the […]

Last week the Sellers were more active than the Buyers and yet ES still managed to Close higher than Mon-Wed Range High which is another positive Weekly Structure (last week’s Ineffective Selling was quickly negated) […]
