3 min left.. not going to get 1715 it appears b4 london roll.. ny still may give 1711.. and a London roll below 1755 is probably still bearish.. got some support at 1735 holding it up. so 1735 may need an h close below also
L rolled 1855x but it was below 1855.9... still bearish side for me.. monday pp may attract 1792.. but if it can't close above 1785, i wouldn't call it bullish, more Resistance At 1826. still time for ny to pull it's pp closer to 1784. that could set up some low risk trades with small stops. against a R

going back is hard.. sometimes i will pull it of a 15 min.. sometimes i can't find my own because time makes them harder to see as candles change.

unlikely for bears to get near 1711 in the next 12 minutes..

Hey , Just wanted to thank you for the analysis really appreciate it. It has helped me improve when to hold my trades. I was looking to cover 1.171X but the daily close has left me undecided. Close and re-enter above (sure looks like it will make a run for 1815-30) or hold and add. Have a good one!

Gator why 1818? I see 1837 on weekly as possible before further down. I can't figure why 1818. Can't you hint if you don't mind!

Figured. Never mind.

It wont reflect on your chart if that's what you mean unless it actually opens at that..which it seems to have spiked right back down. But I don't know how accurate that all seems..

probably algorithm, in some bank running the weekend. i dont have any real feed info. i suspect the banks who do, guard those algorithms from people like us. i have seen them before on that site. they usually settle back b4 open. we can note if 1818 happens again or not next week. it will surpass 1818 if bullish surely. but if it drops and makes a LL below Friday b4 1818 its interesting . just keep the note in your tool box, over the years u may see a pattern. i haven't noticed a pattern yet. So i tend discount those weekend moves. now and again that sight does show a gap b4 open that is correct (more times than not, its not correct). that sight is used for travelers i was lead to believe for currency conversion. but over the weekend not enough volume. so its easily manipulated by a black box turned on.

it may be bearish if it is true, it may also be bullish. you never know till the move after. think of it like this. "if its bullish it will rise, bulls want that. at the same time bears may be waiting for a level that is normal to enter. if so in that particular case. it may be bullish, but bears most advantages placement is a place bulls and bears agree upon. that place is after a minimal bear retrace or higher=norm or norm+.
