posted 9.42a.m. est from pre-open comment Thursday 16th April >>The last four value areas have printed above 830 which I said more than a week ago would be a bullish development so there is the possibility of a fast move higher here which becomes likely if 846 shows support and we see an effective session […]

posted 9.12a.m. est from pre-open comment Wednesday 15th April >>I made the comment after the 26th March and 3rd April that it is unusual to see agressive buying on the high day of a rally (green at top).  Both these potential high days were subsequently exceeded.  Monday was a similar day.  It’s unusual but not […]

posted 3.30a.m. est from pre-open comments Tuesday 14th April >>We await a response from the sellers – Monday was the fifteenth consecutive trading day since I marked significant selling. Significant Buyers were active again on Monday generating a higher/overlapping value area.   I have marked aggressive buying (green at top) the last three trading days which […]

[…]

posted 9.05a.m. est from pre-open comments Monday 6th April >> I think in both price and time the market is at a pivotal point; this is an ideal juncture for a bear market rally to start running out of steam.  If the rally has more to it we’ll find out if ES consolidates above 830 […]

posted 9.25a.m. est from pre-open comments Monday 6th April >>Technical oscillators are getting overbought and sentiment indicators are suggesting levels of optimism that would be a problem if this is a bear market rally; in fact very similar set-up to early January.  I think in both price and time the market is at a pivotal […]

Label on the graphic today read: >>803 is the major controlling price. Consolidation above this level indicates higher.<< should be: 830 is the major controlling price. Consolidation above this level indicates higher.  

from pre-open comments Friday 3rd April >>Thursday’s VA was above 830, which is now the major controlling price for this contract.  That is bullish if 830 holds.  I’m also seeing strong price location now on the weekly charts with indices printing above their 1/2H levels and overcoming resistance.  Breadth is also supportive.
