5 min SPX and trend day

    $SPX - Chart Link- my comments below were false the 60 Stochastic has been above all day.

    The way trend days work - the market gaps up and is strong all morning into mid day 1 - 2 PM. Around this time price will generally pull back and consolidate, allowing for the MACD to recycle back to zero and price recycle back to near 50 MA. Then typically you get another rally to new highs after the consolidation usually after 2 pm.  

    monitor 60 Stochastic as it generally stays over 80 while the trend is in play

    anyway we are now in the consolidation time frame 1 - 2 pm window

    $SPX - Chart Link - as I stated below for a trend day - these typically are strong all morning after a gap and then finally consolidate between the 1 - 2 pm time frame, and so far we have been getting that consolidation.  Price near 50 SMA and MACD recycle. Typically once this is done you would get another push to new highs in early after noon say between 2 - 3 pm, as long as the 60 length Stochastic remains above 80%

    $SPX - Chart Link - price bounced off that support zone we discussed at the 2625 area

    $SPX - Chart Link - the div on the 30 min also supported a bounce.

    however now we'll see if this ends up being another intra day bear flag or a break in symmetry to form a higher low intra day.  We have 9 points off the lows, which is slightly larger than the 8.2 morning bounce

    $SPX - Chart Link- we also had a Stochastic momo setup when the 60 Stochastic remained over 80% while the faster stochastic became oversold -proving a long entry

    otherwise I'd rather have more of a pullback to the 50 MA so view that as a trade

    If it ends up being a trend day, does the follow trading day typically start with pulling back? I recall reading that on here before...can you clarify?

    the following day is typically

    the following day is typically a consolidation day, chop day, rarely do you get two strong trend days in a row. It does and can happen of course where you get a back to back strong day,  but generally the next day is a choppy day and many times a slight down day or doji
