Today's question. Did GC trade low enough to find the buyers needed to take GC above ~1288? GC tested the 1262-63 zone several times, but did not get the response I was looking for. GC may have to trade into larger time-frame support at 1257.9-58.9 or down to 1249.5-1250.6. That doesn't mean it has to, but as a speculator, we need to keep an open mind to possibilities.
Overnight, GC found support at the 1264.3-1265.1 zone. GC is trading above yesterday's mid, but below yesterday's high.
Heading into the open, 1266.3-67.3 will be used as initial support. If GC breaks below initial support, it is possible that GC can trade aggressively lower to larger time-frame support at 1257.9-58.9, 1256, or 1249.5-1250.6. Any zone below initial support can still attract buyers, but GC has been trading sideways for a few days now.
Above initial support there is initial resistance at 1268.5-1269.3 which is minor. Above that is the 1270.5-71.5 zone which is stronger resistance and sellers could still be active at this zone. Breaking above this zone will attract buyers and GC can trade to the 1277.1-78.1 zone which is stronger resistance along with the 1279.2- 80.2 zone where GC could be short-term exhausted. This zone marks the gap edge. Larger time-frame support at 1282.8-1283.8 and the gap would be filled at 1285.4-1286.4 zone.

Caution to today's 7:30 news. It may bring in short-term volatility. Best to be flat just before and after.

GC continues to trade in a tight, sideways range. Overnight, GC found responsive sellers at the top of balance at zone 1271.8-1272.8. Sellers traded GC below Friday's low where it found support at 1262.5-1263.2 zone, which is just above the lower balance zone. GC still looks to be putting in a pullback from from the 4/11 break above balance
Heading into the open, 1262.5-1263.2 will be used as initial support. If GC breaks below initial support, there is stronger support at 1260.7-61.7, which has been tested a couple times already. It is possible that GC can trade aggressively lower to larger time-frame support at 1257.8-58.9, or even 1255-56, where GC could be short-term exhausted. If GC shows continuation, additional support can be found at 1252.8-53.9, and 1249.5-50.6 Any zone below initial support can still attract buyers, but GC has been trading sideways for a few days now. Caution on a swift move lower, only to find buyers and trade GC back through the attempt to go lower. (false break-out)
Above initial support there is initial resistance at 1263.9-64.9. Above initial resistance, GC can easily test 1266.9-1267.5. If sellers want to stay in control, they would have to defend this zone. A break and hold above that, there is resistance at 1269.2-1270 and upper balance zone at 1271.8-72.8. We have seen a volatility swing overnight to the down side. A break above the overnight highs, (upper balance) could bring in swift buying and test 1277.5-1278.1 and 1279.2-1280.2 where GC could be exhausted to the upside.

Yesterday, GC broke below a three-day balance area after a failed attempt to go higher. GC may be completing the pullback after the break from April 11th.
Overnight, GC remained in a tight balance, finding support as yesterday's low.
Heading into the open, 1254.9-55.6 will be used as initial support. If GC breaks below initial support, there is a HVN at 1253-53.2, which can act as a launching point to trade higher. Below that, there is support at 1251.3-52.1. Breaking below the 51.3-52.1 zone would question the attempted break on April 11th. Additional support can be found at 1247.1-1247.7, 1245.0-45.8 and 42.5-43.2
Above initial support there is initial resistance at 1257.5-58.6. A break above initial resistance, GC can re-test the 1262.7-63.5 and 1264.2-65.1 broken support zones. If GC breaks and holds above these zones, GC can move aggressively higher. Resistance can be found at 1268.6-69.7 and 1271.6-72.3, top of prior balance where it can be short-term exhausted. Stronger resistance can be found at 1277.5-1278.1 and 1280.6-1281.5.
Economic News: none today, however, the market may balance or re-test prior breakdown, waiting for FOMC tomorrow

Not much has changed with the zones for today. Many of the zones created were based off of a lower volatility environment. It is likely that some of the zones can be ignored based on the news reports today. Market context and larger time-frame structure will be today's focus. I would expect the 7:15 ADP report to be a catalyst for inducing volatility into the market early and would expect the market to balance out before the FOMC report at 13:00.
Heading into the open, 1253.0-53.7 will be used as initial support. If GC breaks below initial support, there is support at 1251.1-52.1. Breaking below the 51.1-52.1 zone would question the attempted break on April 11th. Additional support can be found at 1249.3-1250.3, 1247.1-1247.7, 1245.0-45.8 and 42.5-43.2. Larger time-frame buyers could be active at any support zone.
Above initial support there is initial resistance at 1254.7-55.2. A break above initial resistance, GC can slice through the 1256.7-56.9 and find resistance at 1257.8-1258.6. Breaking above the 57.8-58.6 zone can put the buyers back in control and would expect a re-test the 1262.7-63.5 and 1264.2-65.1 broken support zones. If GC breaks and holds above these zones, GC can move aggressively higher. Resistance can be found at 1268.6-69.7 and 1271.6-72.3, top of prior balance. Stronger resistance can be found at 1277.5-1278.1 and 1280.6-1281.5.

Heading into the open, 1230.9-33.0 will be used as initial support. There is a good possibility that buyers will defend this zone. If GC breaks below initial support, there is support at 1225.3-27.2 Breaking below the 25.3-27.2 zone would continue to attract sellers. Minor support at 1221.2. Additional support can be found at 1210.2-1212.1 and 1197.7-1198.8
Above initial support there is yesterday's low at 1236.4 and initial resistance at 1238.7- 40.4. A break above initial resistance, GC can test 1245.9-1248.2 and the breakdown zone at 1254.6-56.1, where GC could be exhausted.
