Friday 5/15/2015

The daily chart shows price yesterday making a higher low and higher high, making an all-time closing high in the process. Price today has opened above the daily pivot near yesterday's close and has thus far made a higher high.


In yesterday's blog it was mentioned that the Monday high/Tuesday low scenario was unlikely to hold through week's end and that the odds favored a higher high by the end of the week. Barring a massive sell-off today, we are now looking at a more normal (and bullish) Tuesday low/Friday high. This variation of the catch-all Monday low/Friday high scenario is typical price action on the upside of the MM and MW cycles. The MW high is projected for Monday; given the recent choppy action and the overdue multi-day high (discussed in hourly chart commentary), the MW high could come today. However, it is always possible that the MW cycle extends in time for one (or more) multi-day cycles.



The hourly chart seems to show a rarity - a trading day yesterday without a 24Hr high or low. Price made its last obvious 24Hr low overnight Wednesday, broke above daily pivot and 24Hr MA resistance in yesterday's pre-market trading, and kept moving up throughout the day and overnight. Should price continue up throughout today I will have to look into assigning a less than convincing intervening 24Hr high and low, but I will deal with that when and if needed. In the meantime, we are overdue for a 24Hr high and multi-day high, and we are overdue for a 24Hr low with a multi-day low projected for near the close today.

Price is currently trading below the gold Session MA. If the 24Hr high is in, then price will drop below the overnight low and likely test the daily pivot at 2109; if the 24Hr high is also the multi-day high, the pullback could extend lower into the area of the blue MD MA or green MW MA. Of course, it is possible that the 24Hr high is not yet in and that the current action is merely a pullback into a higher session low before a surge upward around the NY open. The white 24Hr MA is the most important key today; if it fails to provide support, then a 24Hr high and possible MD high is in and price will test the lower support levels just mentioned.
