They broke yesterday’s uptrend channel late in the day. Oh, wait a minute. That’s all it took to recover from what had been a big break. Now at 6 AM in New York, the ES 24 hour S&P hourly futures chart shows the index trundling upward along the center of that uptrend channel. It’s above yesterday’s high.
If you shorted yesterday’s break, you were screwed. In this money, bulls make money, pigs make money, and bears get slaughtered. That’s not how the old saying originally read. But that was then. This is now.
At the moment, there’s a 2-3 day cycle projection of 5245. There’s no 5 day cycle projection yet, but we’ve often seen a 4 day iteration of that cycle. That projects to 5265. But to get there, first they’d face formidable resistance around 5245-48. Breaking that would result in a conventional measured move target of 5295.
Spport lines are now around 5225, rising to 5235 at the NY close. They’d have to be broken to break the back of the trend. Nowhere to Go but Up
