CONSIDERATIONS FOR Apr 18, 2017 (went out to OTF Members at 0821 ET today)

ES_F–  Buyers came to the rescue yesterday at key support levels and took us all the way to resistance near 2347.  As we took to this range, sellers came in to push the chart back down and now buyers have moved near the top of the support range near 2335 – as mentioned,  this range between 2317 and 2335 is still very important for buyers to hold.  Gold and the 30-year bonds faded off their highs but still in bullish formations.  Volatility futures also moved off their highs.  Intraday momentum followers have been doing well as long as they watch volume drift off in the direction of their trade.  Caution all the way around is suggested with size.
  • Buying pressure will likely strengthen above a positive retest of 2354.5
  • Selling pressure will likely strengthen with a failed retest of 2334
  • Resistance sits near 2346.5 to 2354.5, with 2357.5 and 2361.25 above that
  • Support holds between 2334 and 2322.5, with 2317.75 and 2305.5 below that

**********************************************

***NASDAQ Futures***
NQ_F- Traders resolved the bounce upward into important resistance near 5404 overnight but sellers quickly returned to test higher lows.  This signals to me that we are likely to see choppy markets with wider swings.  Traders chasing momentum will move us around on both sides of the congestion (as it looks right now anyway). New higher support is building at 5381, so this level will likely be the litmus test today.  Above the region, we should have buyers in charge and below the region, sellers will hold the power. Level to level trading is best here and preparing for both the entry and exit.
  • Buying pressure will likely strengthen with a positive retest of 5404.5 (use caution as sellers sit near 5411)
  • Selling pressure will likely strengthen with a failed retest of 5374.25
  • Resistance sits near 5394.5 to 5404.5, with 5411.75 and 5430.5 above that
  • Support holds between 5374.25 and 5358.25, with 5347.5 and 5331.5 below that
TRADE SETUPS
***Upside trades – Two options
  • Positive retest of continuation level -5404.5 (make sure you have that positive retest and watch for the potential lower high)

  • Opening target ranges  –  5387.75, 5393.75, 5399.25, 5404.25, 5417.75, 5422.25, 5427.5, 5436.5, 5440.25, 5447.5
***Downside trades- Two options
  • Failed retest of resistance level -5390.5 (watch for higher lows if chart is trying to move upward)
  • Failed retest of support level– 5373.75
  • Opening target ranges –5384.5, 5378.5, 5374, 5367.5, 5359.75, 5352.75, 5347.75, 5344.75, 5338.5, 5327.5, 5318.75, 5312.75, 5306.5, 5299.25, 5275.75
