Just a giant range between 1039 and 1006

key zones

1037 - 1039
1025 - 1028
1014.50
1006
Favor shorts with that failure into the 39 spike and yesterdays single print at the 27.50 area...
starting small at 27.25..shorts...24.50 is peak volume from O/N
added at 28.75...good volume so we need caution on this fade

broke O/N high and filling in single prints...even more tricky now..new highs coming agin I think
flat 27.25..may miss the down move but don't like that double top
I like it. I'm attempting to short under that high too, Let's see?
Oh well. Upside target 1050 area if it makes it. Megaphone pattern. Usually a reversal signal. I'mnot sure.
The early attempt to short worth the risk.
bias has been up since 321am PST.
we had an opening drive away from 1025-1026 key level.

Now we are testing yesterday's opening price.

pullbacks have been shallow, no -ve TICK extreme yet.

Past 3 days of action suggests more range bound consolidation. If it weren't for yesterday's new contract low (1003.5) in the O/N session, I'd say the higher lows are being made.
Afternoons have sold off or remained flat bias throughout the past 2 weeks. I will be looking for a change in behaviour.


Key levels I will be looking at:
1016.5-1018: key inflection point on Thurs. + acted initially as support on Fri. + support for YDay.


1025.5-26.5: this continues to be a key line in the sand, as it is:
closing price last Wed + opening price for last Thurs + Fri + starting pt of two selloffs on Fri. + contained afternoon pullbacks on Thurs.

1039-1040: VAH + prior support zone, should provide resistance

1030.5 - 1031.5: last Tues. RTH low. + YDay's open + POC

bias has been up evers since 321am PST.
opening drive broke out of the 1025-26 key area

Now we have to see if buyers step up on the pullbacks, or will we see another repeat of YDay where HoD was made in the morning, and LoD in the afternoon....?
