{quote} Should be a reversal if it rallies up to 19xx before NFC but right now the retrace is in small range so I think it will be ranging until the new and we could see a HH tomorrow! It could spike up and drop also, I dont know ! Overall is till bullish so scalping short only for now! Nice order number 1826 there !
12h closed above 1799.. increasing chance 1826 or 1841 test. chart shows your same TL with those divisional levels.. the last 2 lows were on the money at 25% or 75% depending where you start. you may be able to use them for reference or scaling trades.

looking to a 1811 long, but probably should wait till after adp. entering 1811/1783. monitoring 1826 and 1841 and 1784 close for aborting.

or a possible scalp at 1849 s with a 4 pip stop. only holding if the h closed below 1841 to target 1811.. not really about the scalp. it may end up a position with a close under 1826

h closed below 1826 and 1841. if it did tag 1811. that close could give more. it's just an hour.. not really that important. but i will be unable to monitor a trade. i have std.. i moved my pending L to 1786.. against the support at 1784. stop 1781. if L rolls below 1825, i got a shot of an entry.. 1799 and/or 1805 may prevent. if 1811, is touched and L closes above 1826 or 1841.. i think 1889 or + should get tagged.

Gator,
do you usually track NY day closes (midnight eastern time) - in this case 1826 ?
I see that most of the time you use the L close, but in this case you are giving bigger importance to the NY day close?

I think we have no chance to get any price below 1892(today L)
I am pending sell at 1901/(19)-weekly 1764. I like to short at this level many time and it worked. Its barely touch the 200 before a retrace!

1845 atm

oh well atm i am wrong, i didnt get the 1811 touch b4 1889 yet.. i paid the 5 pips off 1841 s.. i see it going to 1889/93 st target. but the 1902 target usually goes to 1712/13 b4, so between 1889 and 1901 u may get a signal. or even b4 1889 to go to 1811 or 1712. it's still bullish, so it would be hard to do. high atm 1870. London close 1866, a bullish close above 1799 yesterday and 1841 and 1826. so i will place a short at 1900, with a 2+2 stop. probably a donation to bulls.

My short triggered, but I am about to close it now at 1895! Greedy mode on . If it hit 1901 at 3-5pm est, i would hold it. I might miss the best entry. 1895 atm std
It is still very bullish plus bad data, we will see it rally higher, I will wait for better signal to short instead of holding this one since it was touched 1909
Ready for scalping !
