Good morning, traders. Yesterday's $100 move to the downside created a descending broadening wedge, out of the previous bull flag, which price broke out of this morning. Currently, price is testing resistance as support, and if this is successful we should generally expect continued upward movement. The 15 minute McGinley Dynamic aligns with the previous resistance and price has closed above the blue pivot, even pushing briefly above the R1 pivot before this retrace. Is this still wave 4 of the C wave? We don't know yet. If so, then we can expect to move to the lower pink box, most likely, before moving up with the next set of impulse waves. Currently, tensorcharts.com is showing significant visible supply on the order books immediately overhead. There is also strong visible demand immediately below price as well. Volume has continued to drop on the H1 suggesting that we may still be in the corrective wave. The next set of impulsive waves up should break through the volume downtrend on the H1/H4 TFs. As always, traders should be utilizing strong risk management and waiting for confirmations before entering a position.
The H12 shows the recent upward breakout being rejected at the McGinley Dynamic, but it also shows higher lows and highs from the January 13th low. The lack of a green (white on my chart) D1 candle yesterday makes the January 14th bullish engulfing candle reversal suspect, so we must continue watching the daily closes. The bigger picture remains. We have what appears to be an accumulation TR without a Spring currently printing, denoted by the horizontal blue lines. We have the outer resistance levels denoted by the horizontal red lines (these are ultimately the levels traders should be watching). We have the impulsive move up from the ST. Volume has continued to drop since the PS, suggesting consolidation toward a significant move in either direction. We can see the descending green dashed line, which is aligning with the 50 EMA, and a move above that should see volume increasingly significantly. We can also see there is a possible support building along the ascending dotted black line. The blue zones above the TR note D1 supply. D1 MACD is curled up suggesting bullishness building, as well as having printed bullish divergence on the histogram between December 7th and January 13th. D1 RSI continues printing higher lows and highs so far.
A move above the D1 pivot will likely target the upper pink box and then the descending green resistance. My belief remains that if this occurs, then price will hit that green resistance, drop back for a retrace, possibly using the ascending black dotted support to bounce from, and then push through the resistance. I have outlined this possibility in orange, and it would align with the expected movement of this TR completing without a Spring. A move to the lower pink box could still see price following this movement, but it also increases the chances of a retest of the lows at the lower red line. So, as mentioned above, traders need to remain cautious. We will discuss this in detail, as well as look at the smaller TF charts during this morning's live stream.
As I have continued to warn traders, we need to see volume increasing as price increases to provide the fuel needed to push through that nearby overhead resistance. Failure to do so means price is most likely headed down. However, down may not be bad. If there is a move down from here to the ~$2900 target, then it could very well just be a Spring which would indicate bullish momentum incoming and we could expect a very nice move up. However, we would have to wait until that point and evaluate price action and volume at that time.
Every day, we have a choice to act positively or negatively, so if you get a chance, do something decent for someone today which could be as simple as sharing a nice word with them. You just might change their day, or even their life.
