im long OR top / RTH vwap looking for IBH break, already taken half off on this push up

haven't done A_up yet however overnight high broken and it flirted with A_Up earlier and failed to sustain below OR bottom so feel long is the way to go

on the last retest of vwap? Nice reaction off of it. I am hoping for a range/consol day after that big up day yest. Interesting to see what happens if tests again. Playing the long side was the smart move, perhaps I am too hasty after ditching my longs at the lows earlier.

One of us is right! I wouldnt be surprised if it makes a HH, but not by much, then back into range.

Good luck.

double top at IBH now so strong probability we break it, i suspect we tag the figure at 2240 today

+ another flirtation with A_Up

i know im PROBABLY right to be long, but Q is WHEN it actually breaks the IBH (which i can't predict), it could do it at the close for all i know. so will be cautious and manage carefully

Is that a proven statistic?

Could it not also be interpreted as: failure to make new HHs indicate that not enough momentum to push on through? Its 3rd time up there now.

Not paying too much attention to vwap anymore as range is tight.

My trade stop is at BE (not quite @2238 which almost got stopped) - and this is completely random place to have it, so my fault if it does get hit and then market goes lower.

I am playing a range day today, tight stops just above hods, bit risky as counter strong trend and only 6 pt range so it should extend one way, and odds are it will be higher.

short 43.25

yeah its something like 90+%, havent run it in a while but its around that, looks very much like a range day, would be v interested in anything below OR mid / near OR bottom / -2sd
