Stock market report pre-open 25th July 2016 Chartprofit
Friday’s session generated another Value Area above the minor poc at 2156, see Friday’s highlighted comments. Momentum and Breadth are positive and as long as ES holds above 2156 it is in a strong price location. The market looks stretched now and time printed below 2156 would be a concern and suggest ST weakness.
First Level Support = 2156.00 (minor poc)
Second Level Support = 2087.00 (major poc)
