Sorry, I haven't updated in two days I've been stricken by a terrible case of the flu.
Ascending Broadening Wedge Pattern, for about 10 days.
These are distributive in nature and usually end up in selling down, especially when they are ascending (expanding to the upside)
We broke MAJOR resistance at 281 right?
Yes we did, but after two weeks have yet to have done anything impulsively. We should have had an impulse within the first few minutes or seconds of breaking out of the major resistance. The fact that we got above a major level without impulsing or having aggressive buy volume come in is a big red flag. This further points to a potential Bull Trap (as my last post was titled)
A bull trap is confirmed once we break back below that same 'major resistance' at about 281; or, once we break the horizontal bottom of this current broadening ascending wedge pattern 280.23. Also, keep your eye on a break of the blue channel I have drawn. This is a nice set up for a triple confirmation of a breakdown and to make it easy you could just say 280 is the major level that I am watching.
We do finally have significant bearish divergence now that we have had a high (Feb 25) and then a higher high (March 18 & Yesterday). The yellow line on the RSI shows the divergence.
Nasdaq and SPY are the only areas of the market that have continued higher since Feb 25!!!!!!!
Dow Jones (DJI) has not made higher highs in the last two weeks
Midcaps (MDY) have not made higher highs in the last two weeks
Russell 2k (IWM) has not made higher highs in the last two weeks
And many many other indicies.
QQQ- has increased in value but it has not broken any sturcture. QQQ is a nasdaq composite that is overall down except for the FAANG stocks which have been the lionshare of QQQ's upwardmovement as they are a flight to safety (reference: Right Side of the Chart video 1 or 2 days ago)
SPY - has broken structure but has not done so impulsivly strongly implying a bull trap (ref: last analysis, titled, "bull trap?")
I will provide updates to this analysis on the DJI, MDY, IWM for you to see what I am talking about for thier big picture weakness, in about 2 hours when I return.
No trade to make short until 280 is broken with stops above that level and or the highs.
: ) happy trading.
I have to run-I was in a bit of a rush- if i forgot somehthing I will update this analysis.
