Tuesday, 3/31/2015

Price had a big move up yesterday, closing above MD and MW MA resistance and weekly pivot and monthly pivot resistance, and just above MM MA resistance. Thus far today, price has opened above the daily pivot but is currently trading below it and is testing the weekly pivot for support. If we are on the upside of the monthly cycle, the weekly pivot should hold; however, lately price has not respected normal support/resistance areas, instead passing up and down through them as price forms a triangle. A MW low is projected for tomorrow. Today is the last day of the month. Anything can happen, but an important area to watch today is the monthly pivot at 2057.25 on the downside; a close below that increases the possibility that a multi-year top was made in February.



The hourly chart shows price having made a 24Hr low overnight Sunday on 24Hr MA and daily pivot support, then finding two higher session lows during the day on Session MA support (in gold) on its way to the 24Hr high made at the close. A lower session high was made 5 bars later under Session MA resistance which confirmed that price was now moving lower in search of the 24Hr low.


We are currently overdue for the 24Hr low. That the 24Hr MA or daily pivot could not provide support for this low indicates that we are on the downside of the multi-day cycle. Price appears to have made at least a session low (and possibly 24Hr low) in the area of the weekly pivot and MD MA support. As noted in the daily chart commentary, price is passing through these areas with greater regularity than normal, so I have less confidence than normal that price will hold here. The multi-day low is projected for after the close, and a 24Hr high is projected for the close, adding to the uncertainty. Increased uncertainty equals fewer trades and smaller position sizes for me. I expect this to be a very interesting day.
