Bands for the day. Good luck to all.

reports at 9.45 and 10 am Eastern today

December's VPOC was at 62.75 and we have a greenie at 63.5. The O/N stopped at 62.5 so the huge volume there definitely stopped it there.

In RTH i will try taking shorts to cover the single prints we left from YD. i am more short oriented this morning..

here's how I have it.....key areas are 51 - 53 and 45 - 47.50 on downside.....sells ideally are in 63 - 64 and much better if 51- 53 hasn't tested before then....then a bigger zone at 67 - 70 as an upper bell curve...some will be using 61 as it is the weekly 1 sd band
...it's ok to try on long side off last weeks highs in O/N but if we are really wrong we could drop down to 45 - 47.50 zone...be careful

anything long under 51.75 should try to take something off at 54 first just in case the low time spot at 54 and O/N POC means something

i like the sells off of 63-64 as well but i dont know if they can get up there...

30 min VPOC @ 51.25 but i dont find it helpful at all. everything is bulky. looks like they decided to fill in the volume on those singles all at once..

this is quite a fight going on and i am on the sidelines because of it...

OK, what does it mean when the 2nd bracket is inside the first? More power for a breakout of the IB?

my guess is yes. it is like compressing a spring and so it should give out at some point... so whenever the breakout occurs, i will take a trade in that direction. 63 target if upside and 40 if downside..

the way it looks to me right now, higher chance of a breakout to the upside but i am keeping an open mind about it..

anyone going for more would really want this to stay above 51.50 - 52.50....last weeks highs....profile is balanced so far today...so u can't be sure that they will just keep driving it back to the center.....ok....gotta get to my second job now !!
