The Morning Briefing for Wednesday, April 19, 2017 by @AnneMarieTrades
ES_F– Buyers keep support in a
battle against the slopes of longer time frames and show that our range still
remains intact. For the fourth day, we are testing 2345 as resistance and
making higher lows at the same time. The is a pivotal region around 2338.5
that traders are coiling around with no real resolution as of yet. Gold
and the 30-year bonds have been running ahead of themselves so a bit of a fade
is in progress, but still holding bullish formations. Caution all
the way around is suggested with divergent action. Levels remain the same
as yesterday in terms of pressure.
- 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 5405 for the third day as higher lows
build with converging short term momentum. We’ve got a mixed bag so
reversals are likely at the edges – but the spikes higher or dips lower could
be bigger than expected if we continue to see momentum algorithms join the
fray. Choppy markets with wider swings are the order of the day once
again – though the NQ_F could see bigger bounces. Support is building at
5374. 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 5406.5 (use caution as sellers sit near 5413)
- Selling pressure will likely strengthen with a failed retest of 5374.25
- Resistance sits near 5406.5 to 5412.75, with 5417.75 and 5434.5 above that
- Support holds between 5374.25 and 5358.25, with 5347.5 and 5331.5 below that

***Oil –WTI Crude***
CL_F -With the API report behind us
and the EIA ahead at 1030 ET, oil sits in a sideways pattern. Resistance sits
ahead at 53.11 and a breach here will bring us to a breakout space. Oil
remains in tight formations as rebalancing continues with momentum suggesting
that support tests will hold. Price action remains very choppy with
sellers sitting near 53.2 and buyers near 52.63 as it was yesterday.
