– Friday is High 2 buy signal bar, and a wedge bull flag buy signal bar.
– But it had a prominent tail on top, it followed a big bear bar, and it is in the middle of a two-month trading range. This lowers the probability of a strong move up today.
– Today so far is a small inside doji bar, and there is, therefore, no evidence of a big move up or down.
– Two-month trading range is breakout mode.
– Bulls want a breakout above, and a 200-pip measured move up to above the February 2017 high, which is the top of a seven-year trading range.
– Bears want break below May 5 low at the bottom of the range, and a measured move down to around the March 31 low.
– Slightly more bullish than bearish, but still close to 50% chance of bear breakout.
– Traders continue to look for reversals every few days.
