Mid-day Update… Betting on weak hands.

Strong hands aren’t buying here. Not, yet.

This morning’s bias environment ultimately extended through its 2842.00 bias-up target to 2856.50. The noon hour’s dip attacked 2846.00, then recovered to attack this afternoon’s 2854.50 bias-up signal. Which didn’t trigger, and was only touched at 1:30 to threaten invalidating the no-bias.

This is a no-bias environment, so its 2854.50 bias-up signal is likely to define the window’s upper-end. Extending above it would be “no-bias trending” and require being retraced. Which wouldn’t be surprising for a doomed rally to try, but it’s not necessary. The rally can wait until the bias environment begins lapsing before resuming.

And resuming the rally is likely, so long as 2848.75 now holds as support. Even then, the Isolation setup will’s reward retesting this week’s ~2860.00 high would still be likely tomorrow, which would be vulnerable to retracing the rally from this morning’s lows.
