OK, we’re a day trading thread here, so let’s keep that headline in perspective. On the other hand, if this sticks for more than a few days, then we should keep in mind that this low was higher than the one in June. But we”d still need to clear 3919 on the ES 24 hour S&P fuguetures to have that higher higher low, higher high sequence to call an intermediate uptrend.
Here in the short run, the ES was in the process of breaking out of a one week downtrend at 3800 as of 5 AM New York time. If this sticks, then the next target would be a resistance convergence around 3825. If they clear 3810, the bottom pattern would have a conventional measured move objective of 3890.
So stay tuned for more chills, thrills and excitement through this summer Friday in this Saga of the Temporary Bull. By the way, I think the ES would need to drop back below 3765 to put the bears back in business. Rule nothing out in this environment.
