Wednesday 12/16/15

After finding support Monday on the trendline drawn from prior multi-month lows, price yesterday made a higher low and higher high than Monday, closing above the weekly pivot and MD MA.  Price today has opened above its daily pivot and is currently trading above yesterday's high.  The action of the last two days indicates that price is on the upside of the MW cycle, and I have marked Monday as the MW low.

The MW high is projected for 12/24, but if we are still on the downside of the MM cycle then price will likely find resistance at the confluence area of the MW MA, MM MA and monthly pivot near 2057 to see this high put in early.  If Monday was also a MM low, I would expect price to exceed this level en route to new highs by the late January projection for the next MM high. While I believe the odds favor the bullish scenario, I must emphasize that risk is still very high for a large downside move.   An early MW high under MW MW resistance would be bearish and leave open the possibility that the August lows will be revisited and possibly taken out.



The hourly chart shows price yesterday rising until early afternoon when it found its 24Hr high just below monthly pivot resistance.   It appears that price found its 24Hr low just after the close on MD MA support (and at the level that became the new daily pivot one hour later).  Price then drifted higher in overnight and pre-market trading and is currently trading just above the monthly pivot and below the MW MA.


A 24Hr high is projected for early afternoon, and it is possible that the next 24Hr high will also be a multi-day high.  This means we could be on the downside of the 24Hr and MD cycles when the Fed announces their decision on interest rates; if so, a negative reaction to the decision would be the expected outcome.
