Good Wednesday morning,




There seems to be no end in sight as the S&P and NDX keep hitting new all time highs after all time highs! So just how far can we float up?!? There is no way to know that exact answer, however, we can be ready for when the rug gets pulled and the trap door swings open, hurting those people with poor trade location. From here on out, we need to take a day by day approach and look to get on the short side once the sellers show up. And I mean REALLY show up!






📊 In the profile pic and key levels, futures are gapping above the prior day's high once again, this time over 6,470. This will be the first key level to watch just like yesterday, and the POC is very close as well at 6,468. As long as price stays above this range, then buyers remain in control, so look for upper targets at 6,510 - 6,520. If buying pressure continues, then our extended targets at 6,550 - 6,560 would be in play. If sellers take price back below 6,470, then look for a move back down to the overnight low at 6,461, then look for lower targets at 6,460 - 6,450. Further liquidation could see 6,430 - 6,410.



Futures are currently trading at 6,487 at the time of this writing.





🧭 VPOC Update: No new VPOC's were added or taken out yesterday. We still have none above and five below the current price.

  • 6,367.50
