๐ Market Perspective
US30 consolidates between 39,465โ40,896. Favor fade strategies at range extremes with 1:2.5 risk-reward ratios. A decisive break above 41,293 or below 39,204 would signal trend acceleration.
We'll see if the explosive move will be to the downside. Here are some signs:
- Bearish Market (directional) Bias;
- The bullish and bearish trendlines (shown as red and green dotted lines) came together as a Pennant pattern to encourage moves to the downside;
- Price action has been moving under a Falling Window (Gap Down) that still has not closed, so its strong forces of Resistance are still active;
- And, continued consolidation within a very tall Inside Day pattern shows that a breakout from its high at 40,909 was rejected, so a true breakout can be towards the pattern's low at 38,400.
We'll see where the tight "coiling" from the Double Inside Day really springs out in a BIG way. Either to the downside or upside.

If the bears step in for the retrace to the downside (to cross back to the right of the trendline), there may be a shallow one or a proper retrace towards 40,434 through Mean Reversion. But if the bulls keep rallying to breach the Swing High of 40,791, then more moves to the upside.
*Side Note: There's low volume behind the move of this bullish candle still forming, so the market makers are not participating.
