All a bit of a mess imo re levels....




HTF PnF....


...surprised if price breaches either 43/61 levels. ETH respected yesterdays 46-47 S3 area (the push through to 43 yest rejected quickly so reckon there be reasonable demand before getting anywhere near it).

Will be looking for tests of these levels for swing entries, and any scalps which emerge along the way. I am still focusing on scalping but am looking to scalp at swing entries, obviously. I will also take scalping cautiously today, aim for 4-5 trades.

Good luck trading everyone.

yep - i did first off and lost 1pt, my stop sold the lows - it was a pilot, then it ramped to 54 moments later. And when it went back there still looked good. Just not enough going on to warrant a convicted trade from me, tick was staying low, and readings are low.

Its a pretty awful open, I can see this being a pretty poor day with messy PA and very few decent setups. Push to the up side looks most likely though.

Like these PA prev resistance and possibly turn to support, the upper one is close to eth & rth vwap/eth highs; the lower is close to OR high...but will depend on internals, speed of price movement etc.

its A_up, but am not looking for longs til 54-57. No real level here @59s apart from its own support, but nothing happening on internals.
