PullMyFinger Posted April 22, 2021 Report Share Posted April 22, 2021 Today's fun with numbers from a 16M NQ chart: sort of interesting that substantive moves before at least a pause or reversal in the other direction since 4/13 have ranged from 225 to 256 points, with an average of about 239 points. And in any event I always treat 234 point moves as important because it represents an important trading frame (plus half a frame) for how I trade--156 points plus 78 points, so whenever I see a move close to that, I sit up and take notice. Now that I have mentioned it, today will of course likely be the day this changes. I realize that people might want to measure from different points than I did, but this seems to be working for me--at least until it doesn't. For now, I am really paying attention to any move in either direction for a possible sign of a pause or reversal once we get to around 220-ish points. I think I had posted last week that if we get a couple of hourly closes above 14062, there might be a good chance this thing continues the grind up, maybe even far up. So far, that hourly close has yet to happen and we actually had a nice reversal this week from 4/16's high of 14059, just below 14062. Something tells me there is a decent chance that this might be one of those "sell in May and go away" years in the NAS where we go down for a couple of months in the summer, but I guess we will see once we get there. And May is light years away for me at this point. And if that does happen, I guess it could still be at a level quite a bit higher than we are right now. For now, it still seems the overall path remains up and not down. So, to sum up for the TL/DR people, for the last week or so, 225+ a bit more point moves have been a good indicator we may get a bit of a pause or a reversal, and has been a good place to take at least some profits or close a profitable position. But, as always, WTHDIK. Have a great trading day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrStool Posted April 22, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2021 -Bears won the screen game from yesterday 29-12. This is swing trade buy signals vs. sell signals from yesterday's action. That doesn't fully offset Tuesday's 56-14 bear swampage. The waters are muddy. The 56 sell signals from Tuesday are not sufficient to signal an intermediate top. Coming off the bottom on March 28, there were 155 buys vs only 13 sells, if memory serves. I'd like to see triple digit sells for a confirmed top signal. Here is today's output.

PullMyFinger Posted April 22, 2021 Report Share Posted April 22, 2021 This market is so smart, it even knows to bounce and/or reverse on moon spoke lines in the past as well as the future. Now if I could only reverse the time-space continuum, I would be onto something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
