So we ended up with the 30m higher high by 2 points when it came in. That let's the 30m call for correction, the 1hr-3hr calling for a movement down, the 4hr fairly neutral, and the 6hr/12hr calling for movement up.
All in all I feel like there is less direction into today than yesterday. I sat out yesterday and may likely sit out again today.
Trends into today;
Last Macro Trend Signal Spots
30m - 4148 Uptrend (5/16/2023) Higher High

The Long Position;
I will wait and see where the 30m trend comes in. If it comes in as a higher low (above 4128) I may go Long there if it appears to be losing momentum. Otherwise I might look to go long if we pass 4150 with determination, as the 30m is calling for upward movement and the 1hr may not be far away and would still come in as a lower high.
The Short Position;
If we get a 1hr uptrend that is a lower high I may go short at that point if momentum begins to run out. Additionally, if we break down past the 6hr trendline (4136) I may go short and see if I can run it down to at least 4116 and then set a profit stop and see if it will run down further.
Economic Data;
Retail Sales numbers are in. Basically it seems retail sales popped a tiny bit in April, but less than expected, and year over year we are lower.
Earnings;
Home Depot had a disappointing Earnings report based on artcles I read on the matter, and that appears to be bleeding over into Lowe's at the moment. It could bleed into other areas of retail as well, such as Walmart, who report later this week.
All in all my sentiment is;
Shorter Term - Neutral
Short Term - Neutral
Medium Term - Neutral/Bearish
Long Term - Neutral/Bullish
Safe trading, and remember your risk management plan.
