$SPX - Chart Link - as far as it being a
Trend Day it's possible, we had a big gap and market has not pulled
in, except that 15 min pullback at 10 am. Otherwise if it's a
Trend Day you know how those behave. Otherwise we are near some
resistance and some intra day divergence. On Trend days I buy small
abc pullbacks on fast charts i.e. 1 min, 2 min etc, and the typical
abc 1 hr mid day consolidation that is typically lasts between 1 -
2 pm, generally around 2 pm +/1 30 min min you will get a nice low
and then another move up.
$SPX - Chart Link - updated view, again
typical consolidation during this time like I said below. price now
back close to the VWAP. For now 60 Stochastic above 80%. however if
price is going to attempt another afternoon bounce price needs to
start reversing up right in here otherwise trend day done.
exiting a trade is always tougher for me than entering a trade.
Especially on the day trade index stuff since the market tends to
do weird things the last part of day I'm usually taking profits
before 10 or 15 min from the close or keeping a really tight stop
at that point
This is probably the most absurd market in history. Economy and
stock market are totally disconnected. Stupid fed should lend money
to small businesses instead of buying stocks
$SPX - Chart Link - as far as a typical
trend day we should get an hr long consolidation starting sometime
soon, generally it's between around 1 - 2 pm give or take 15/30
min.
on the 1hr consolidation typically your best buy is an abc
pullback where a fast stochastic gets oversold and MACD recycles
back closer to zero and price near the 50 SMA on the 5 min time
frame

$SPX - Chart Link again we bounced off VWAP as I said, and formed a flag. price moved out of it then pulled back to backtest it where it found support
