Since the top, we have been selling off strong, yet in an orderly fashion. In doing so we have broken out of our current Ascending Wedge and Channel. While our break was violent in volatility terms, it wasn't an impulsive breakdown... yet.
My read on this tape is we broke our Ascending Wedge and Channel and Friday we attempted a retest of the bottom Resistance at 290. We could see a push up to those levels Monday. Or we could find no strength in these market and sell off aggressively confirming the rejection of the Ascending Channel. We haven't impulsed down drastically and we 'could be' consolidating outside of the channel currently. This could potentially morph into bear flag type consolidation (not unlike BTC around May 7, posted below)
Scenario 1
Friday Close, was the high, and we sell Monday hard potentially breaking lows at 282.5, if so we could impulse down to 274
Scenario 2
Push up to the 290 area on Monday- Tuesday and then sell off from there.
The failure to get back within this channel is bleeding the bulls dry, they would need to get back inside that zone to hold onto a little more time. If we continue to consolidate outside of this Ascending Channel then I would expect it to be building up the supply of sell pressure for the same large impulse down.
Brace Yourselves,
This could be a very violent week.
