I will keep this post as brief as possible. We are still in an uptrend and no significant news reports are on the schedule today.

Support: 1660.00-1661.25, also keep in my that this zone puts into play the Value Area low at 1662.50

Midpoint: 1665.50-1666.50

Resistance: 1669.75-1670.75

Here is the chart:

Very well defined range coming into today, and if the support level fails the market will want to test 1656.00. If resistance fails.. it would be making a new all time high and every moving average in the book would be up sloping.

Heading into today, from a market profile standpoint we really only have the last two sessions to look at for guidance. Once again we are heading into a gap down situation and look to be opening within a 3-5pt range which has a 73% probability of filling.

Support: High volume node- 1647.50, Weekly R2 pivot- 1648.00, Low volume node- 1648.50, Value area low- 1649.00

Also note that this was the area of yesterday’s breakout. A long trigger off this level puts the gap fill in play but also is accepting the breakout and lower value which is defined by the VAL and low volume node.

Resistance: Value area high – 1659.00, relatively high volume node at 1659.25 and yday’s high – 1659.75

Here are the charts:

The key levels to pay attention to as the market heads into the middle of yesterday’s range and gap fill level are the overnight low at 1650.00, volume point of control at 1655.00 and the high volume node at 1653.00.
