Island in the Sky

Probably a lot of people noticed this potential island on the SP500 cash index 30-minute chart.

SP500 Cash Index - 30 Minutes - Island

While it shouldn't be made too much of, the gap on the right-hand-side could fill, but so far the down move is not impulsive (yet). While today's opening gap up was closed, yesterday's gap up was not. As of this time, the island was contained within the 1.382 external retracement on the down wave. So, at this location it could make and excellent y wave of minute ((b)) up, but such a pattern needs some confirmation.

For example, at the end of the day, the most recent upward three-touch trend line had not been broken or back-tested yet.

Have a good start to the evening.

  4. My thanks too TJ:
    And perhaps Island in the Stratosphere would be fitting with prices at or near record extreme values. I see a little bit of TSLAs action now reflecting in the SPY, added in the middle of the Island. With TSLAs vertical ascent - which reminds me of beans in the teens during a drought market - its inclusion in the index may have transferred "the bag" to the unmanaged accounts that merely parrot the index.

  5. I bought UUP calls last week and sold for quick profit (last week). DXY has now made a new low this week, with EURUSD 4hr looking like an ending diagonal structure...we'll see. Added some calls on UUP today. New month (and weekly) candle on the way on Monday.

    1. 👍 cash daily - dark cloud cover still in play below 3756. Below 3723 could get traction?

    1. ES 5-min, as far as I can tell, this last leg downward is now long enough to meet the definition of an expanding diagonal.

      But, as always, a retrace to the high must hold below it for a 'leading' diagonal; otherwise ending.
