That pullback was probably just the 5 day cycle down phase, with the cycle low at yesterday’s low, tested this morning. The ES, 24 hour S&P futures, only need to be above 4105 at mid day today to break the mild downtrend and indicate a new 5 day cycle up phase.
On the other hand, if they manage an hourly close below 4085, that would complete a nice little top pattern. The conventional measured move implication would then be 4035. That, in turn would break the 8 day uptrend channel. In view of the US Treasury pumping $55 billion in cash into dealer, investor, and other accounts this week, I’d have to give the benefit of the doubt to the bullish case.
Meanwhile, if the 10 year yield closes below 3.25, that would complete a top 6 months in the making. The measured move target would be 2.40.
Hard to believe, Harry.
So on the other hand, if this level holds, and they get it above 3.60, then this 3 month pattern leans toward being a consolidation before a breakout to much higher levels.
