Comment:
On the hourly chart, I am looking at something like this. I will be trading the NY open and NOT the CPI. I have the expectation that there will be a pop up and no follow through for a sell back down.

Comment:
On the 15 minute, the 200sma is equivalent to the 4 hour 21ema and they are both flat. Flat means range. Range means Sell pops.



Price is hitting my yearly up channel perfectly

Trade closed: target reached:
I was bearish on the CPI and I was expecting a huge drop. That did happen as expected. The only thing I did not see was it didn't pop up as planned, instead rolled over immediately. I got in on the close of the first 5 minute bar as the 21ema was sharply declining, indicating way more downside.


Alot of people get scared to enter on such a giant bar, but experience has taught me to enter into violence. Using the draw tool, I draw out the 21ema ahead of time and see that it is rapidly falling with more downside. I had a whole 5 minutes of that bar to get ready.
