Through the prior close…
Wednesday’s gap up to 2469.50 was at or above the two prior sessions’ highs. It was maintained through the open, but not extended until triggering late bias-up. Extending higher into the noon hour peaked upon touching the morning’s 2474.00 bias-up target, which also satisfied an intraday test of 2471.00-2473.50. All of which tracked perfectly against the session’s topping template, including a reaction back down into the prior two sessions’ range at 2462.50. Headlines prevented the reaction from playing out naturally, which probably prevented the last 60-90 minutes from extending down to fresh lows. WedEX triggered passively bearish.

Overnight action’s new info…
Yesterday afternoon’s 2462.50 low was retested soon after the Globex open. It held as the lower-end of a flat-to-higher range. Europe’s opens triggered a blip-up to 2468.50, which disappeared almost as quickly as it had appeared. More so, it retraced several ticks deeper than its origin, attacking the overnight and yesterday’s 2462.50 low.. then rejecting a 2-point blip up by spiking back down sharply to fresh lows at 2461.00.

If, then…
Yesterday afternoon’s last downleg developed exclusively during the 10-15 minutes when the bias environment lapse comes within view. The actual 2:30 lapse didn’t extend the effort that was already underway. This is a bullish setup, essentially a stretched rubber band that snaps back. Which it did, but only to retrace a minimum 61.8% of the stretch. A more impressive snap is likely if sellers don’t control overnight action. So, are they? So far. Even the blip-up at Europe’s opens has bearish characteristics. The best evidence would be in testing the bias-down signal, and then triggering it, or not.

First Trade…
[Click here to view the Bias parameters] Exiting the open at 9:45 under 2467.50 would be unlikely to trigger the 2471.00 bias-up signal at 10:15. Exiting the open above 2466.00 would be unlikely to trigger the 2461.50 bias-down signal.

Phonetic dictation…
good morning and welcome it’s Thursday it’s time for Thursday’s Morning Market or the critical question this morning is who owns the night and not decisive but it’s not buyers sellers haven’t produced a fresh low but they did take price back down here’s yesterday’s clothes here’s yesterday’s aloe and the overnight low that tested it read tested it remember this is typically a bullish setup bullish meaning that the selling pressure Lancer the back to hear developed not prematurely but it definitely had potential to be to extend it could only have attracted sponsorship which it didn’t did not had not at the right time at 2:30 so it turned out to be not necessarily week and it just fully extended now that did produce a reaction up at 2:30 as of 2:30 no fresh aloe the reaction up measured 61.8% retrace 61.8% of the drop so just a healthy constructive corrective bounce not quite the rubber band snap that it could be but it was the bare minimum if it’s going to be anything more it’s going to be obvious that it’s going to be more at the open and that didn’t get anywhere that premise didn’t improve it all last night tried to here’s your UPS opens Market Edmond ranging flat tire off the over of the overnight lows retest yesterday’s love the market had been ranging flat tire and then flipped up on Europe’s reactions Europe’s opens but only temporarily and have disappeared almost as quickly as it had appeared and more so because the origin has been retraced and that’s not letting go so again it’s not decisive who owned the night but it wasn’t buyers and it adds to the bearishness potential bearishness get for the open resumed yesterday’s USA afternoons to climb it adds to the bearishness having bounced to retest yesterday afternoon’s high without probing above it maintaining the probe above it also adding to this morning if there is any so biosignal but it’ll be a helpful indication as to whether sellers are we gaining controller or retaining control from yesterday afternoon’s reaction down and explaining that even deeper holding 2463 especially if 6150 had been touched already holding 2463 is probably going to be an indication that sellers art at least not this morning we’re gaining or asserting their control so the consequence if sellers do take control through the morning the consequence is to launch a new down like at least a retest Friday’s the Gap back to Friday’s close the overnight lows do constitute enough of a new trend extreme because there was a trend reversal signal can play so the overnight lows do constitute enough of a trend extreme Globex Trend extreme that that’s an attraction to and then of course there’s unfinished business below at 2425 this Gap or at least likely attraction to be probed by about four points and a 24-21 so 2421 up to 24 25 and albums it seems more tied to the gyro although it’s not producing fresh Lowe’s in fact producing a relative high or higher and higher low relative to the euro which is probing lowers we just saw in the extended actually much higher overnight basically 7960 that’s not a break out clothes and it’s from an island and so we expect the balance to fail 7960 7965 pretty critical area and pretty good candidate for a balance to fail it tested what would be the trigger that would tell us that the bounce it likely failed it is probably not going to be it’s really not going to be a good trigger intraday probably not going 1995 to the close is just refueling sellers for the bigger dip update the text of the first Tradepost real quickly and then send out this video but essentially she looks like sellers are decisively in control over night I’d like to see a bounce back up into the range a little bit back up to 63 don’t get too carried away otherwise this is going to create a gap down within the range that is difficult to extend out or at least reliable so what it right now to 6461 even gapping Down Under The Lord of the Rings you know if we don’t get down under 59 lot of support 59 this is not as yet.
