Good Thursday morning!




Status quo remains as we are still one time framing higher and the value areas and POC's (Points of Control) keep building higher as well. This confirms that the trend and bias is still up for now. Will it remain bright and sunny or will the clouds darken and storms roll in? Time will tell!


PLEASE REMEMBER....this market can break lower at any time as we just keep floating higher and higher and higher, and I've been saying the odds are increasing for this to happen, but again, I do not have a crystal ball so you will have to stay vigilant! Don't fight this tape but stay cautious as things can turn on a dime. FYI I do not have any short trades on at the moment and I am net long, but I am ready to lock in profits and switch sides when I see the break!



This morning futures are higher and we are inside of prior days range. 5655.25 is yesterday's high so if that gets taken out look for upper targets. As the key levels and profile pic show, any price action that now stays above the 5635-5643 area is edge to the bulls. IF 5635 were to get taken out then look for lower targets and then yesterday's low @ 5613.50. A loss of that level would stop one time framing.




VPOC Update: No new VPOC's were added yesterday. 5699.50 remains above current prices and we still have 22 untested points of control below current prices.
