ES emini 17th May 2018 – pre-open from Chartprofit
I have marked Aggressive Buying (green-at-top) five times in the last ninet days and the market is higher indicating this is Effective Buying in the dayframe. The last six Value Areas have been generated above 2672, the 12mn poc, and as long as ES holds above that level it is in a strong price location. On 05/03 the 7mn Value Area Low at 2595 was tested and I note that the 7mn Value Area High is at 2746 (dashed line). This could stall the current rally, but price acceptance at that level would be a positive.
Dayframe: A v minor poc (10day) has emerged at 2724.00. Price relative to this level today could be useful to gauge ST strength/weakness.
First Level Support = 2672 (12mn poc)
Second Level Support = 2647 (4mn poc)
Index ETFs: SPY 266.00 = 9mn; IWM 153.50 = 1year
Stocks>50dyma numbers: Nyse 59% (from 57%), Nasdaq 62% (from 58%), R2000 64% (from 60%). Numbers >50 are supportive.

GBPUSD: in mid April the major Value Area High at 1.4212 was probed for the second time this year and was rejected again. The Support at 1.3965 (6mn poc) was then broken and at the end of last month the Support trendline off the 2016 low was broken.
EURUSD: as explained in the video on 04/20, the major poc migrated to 1.2330. Since that point EURUSD has been printing below that level in a weaker price location and this week printed its lowest level since December. There is Support at 1.1755, the 1year poc.
