The Numbers

She has to make it above 17128.25 to have a chance at 17310.5, staying above that is decent for the day, as she’ll make an attempt to 17434-17454.25 zone. Staying above that locks her in to tap 17749.25, with more numbers above.

Staying below 17128.5/17125.5 will likely keep us in the box starting 17040 and down to 16960 (poc it’s messy here) 16760 (aggresive long), 16686.75 (better long), but if we lose 16686.75, it’s 16569.25 and below (i will share link to my chart)

BONUS: if you’re really patient, there’s a number sitting around 15968.5 that it may not be time to get to yet (it’s part of what i’d call another leg of downward trending) if they got there during the trading session sometime this week, depending on how they do it, i’m there, and hope I have some dry powder available. šŸ˜„ 

The Big Picture

We have a balance area! ā¤ļø ā¤ļø Let’s see how long it holds. For now It gives me something to trade with in the short term.

The market got a lot of people hyped up yesterday, with people hoping to confirm their political bias, as well as their market bias, in a clear downtrend…I don’t say i’m prone to it, but I certainly wasn’t yesterday, as I found myself looking for them to give us some kind of a balance to play with, and they delivered! I had some championship tweets yesterday, and in fact, in yesterday’s newsletter, I tried to tell ā€˜em when they hit our zone…

I’m not sayin’, but i’m just sayin’…and with that said…that’s going to be a point of resistance, depending on how they make their way up through that area. They either need to hit it with force, or if they get stuck, I’d proceed with caution. That said, this is the area that they seem to clearly be gunning for this morning, so don’t be surprised if we pay a visit there again today! If they push past it, watch out bears!

Welp, the bears didn’t have to watch out, as they couldn’t make it through, and that ended up being the high of the day. Just as everyone was rejoicing, and at least one major pundit going on about ā€œBEAR MARKET HOAX IS OVERā€ or some nonsense (he probably sold at that point), we dropped, creating the wonderful balance area I dreamed about ā¤ļø . If you are on the twitters, or exes or whatever, i’m having a great time by myself, feel free to join in:

So, anyway, the downtrend continues, I still don’t think it’s a bad place to be building positions (especially if you dollar cost average), but I’m not willing to ever call a bottom until…heck, i’m willing to be weeks or months late. I look for optimal entries and, if i have change in my pocket try to take ā€˜em (one day, one day…). The numbers are above, and i’m sharing my chart all week with the numbers you could use (take ā€˜em or leave ā€˜em, but don’t say i didn’t tell you). They’re not always perfect, but they are…well informed.:)

News

No news today, except some FOMC minutes. maybe that’ll move something, or maybe someone will open their big mouths at a key level and turn things around one way or another during the day. Who knows, the market is full of surprises, and also full of the same ol same ol. At least my friend Nasdaq.

Here’s to patience, learning, and profits! 🫔
