Ongoing Narrative / Commentary
Very flat open and premarket indications above showing little to do early as overnight inventory very balanced and opening within range. The better trades will develop later rather than earlier in today’s session.
It relatively rare that we have VPOC’s bookending the RTH range on both sides but that’s what we have today. I’ve listed both as key levels which could be targets should the market move definitively out of yesterday’s RTH range.
The overall feel here is that the market is suffering from a lack of focus. Divergence abounds with the NDX and RUT threatening to flip their bias into downtrends while the SPX holds it’s own in a more sideways trajectory.
Scenarios
- Premarket indications offer little clue as to early direction. Current prices are also very close to the settlement as well which indicates no change in the overnight session.
- Assume further balance within range with the aforementioned VPOC’s as potential targets should prices breakout in either direction.
