The RTH daily range is contracting. The price did not get neither to OVN low or high. No changes to the market structure. There is a composite high value node at 2584 . Usually, a high value node is a launching point of a directional move . Something to watch. At this point the buyers continue to dominate. There is no obvious signs of their failure. This week we...
The Russell 2000 futures, that represent small caps and broader market strength, is primed for a directional move. A mature multi day balance has a potential for a breakout to upside.

A strong rally today across the indices. The SPX hit its first target which is 61.8% fib retracement off the recent downside swing. I anticipate a pullback first. This level should be taken out decisively by bulls to negate that downside swing. Usually, a tradeable response, a contra trade, is expected first. The second fib retracement tracks the recent upside...
