Market-suggested trend lines

As of today, the market has suggested slightly contracting trend lines shown in the daily SPY cash index, as below. At this time, they are tentative only.

SPY Cash - Daily - Suggestions

While we were able to count an impulse down, and then either a full or partial (we think the latter) retrace today, the market path is pretty unclear just now. As the daily ES chart below shows, price settled just above the 18-day SMA in a Doji candle.

ES Futures - Daily - Neutral

The slow stochastic is stuck in the middle, so this summertime chart is about as neutral as it can get. Still, taking out yesterday's low - tomorrow - would be more bearish than it would be bullish as it would take out the low of an outside-day-up in less than two sessions (IF it does).

This is a great time for patience, flexibility and small commitments, if any. We're doing our best to count locally, but the number of choppy diagonals on the chart is astounding (see last comments in prior post).

Have an excellent start to the evening,

TraderJoe
