besides the one min projection shown, the all important 15 ema on the 5 min is also there.. should be good for a bounce down... at least
well, i missed that one ...watching
taking a real chance here...long at 1117.50..the 'termination 'ratio ' 4.236 proj from todays high(1140.25) was achieved at 1111.75, so i think we are set up for a bounce anyway... looking for 1121

Man, sorry i missed that one .. my sell was at 1125.00. Have to run for a bit.
Looks very similar to the chart formation in early Feb on the daily. I wouldn't be arguing with the market right now. I agree with Kool that yesterday was a dagger in the heart of the bears. 40 is still immediate resistance then 55. See how the news is received. Looking for bearish news to be discounted the more of the same candlesticks. Low opens and high closes. A couple of those strung together and its time to get heavily long. Might miss this move, but that's the ideal set up for me.
