Good Monday morning,




The buyers are at it again, and still living in paradise apparently, as futures are up, seemingly without a care in the world! Obviously, I am being facetious, but the resiliency of this market has been staggering. Nothing seems to bother traders and investors around the globe as we continue to live on the AI high! Gold is also back up over $4,300 per ounce, and when gold was up, that used to mean something underlying was bad, or about to go bad, but not anymore. Markets are up, and gold can now move in tandem. The one thing I will say is that we are still within the confines of that huge down move on October 10th (6,762 high to 6,552 low in the S&P), so until we break out of that range, one way or the other, expect more intraday volatility.





📊 In the profile pic and key levels, futures are higher across the board with a true gap over Friday's high, with overnight inventory that is net long. There could be an initial fade lower to balance out the inventory, but as long as price stays over Friday's high at 6,718, then the edge remains with the buyers. Upper targets are listed below. Now, if the sellers come in and take price back below 6,718, first look for the POC at 6,707, then the overnight low at 6,694, then lower targets.




Futures are currently trading at 6,731 at the time of this writing.




🧭 VPOC Update: No new VPOC's added or taken out yesterday, so we are still at 7 below with none above!
