They've kept it symmetric O/N ahead of the 8:30 a.m. reports. So the center of the range will be important,,,basically the 51.25 - 52.50 area. Below we have 39 - 40 and above we 59 - 60 which I thought would have printed Yesterday. Further up we have 65 - 67.50.

This chart is quite amazing looking. VWAP in the middle with a bulge of volume above it and a bulge of volume below it. Someone is going to win this war eventually.

two problesm with my thinking

1) no alternative target...no trips or ledges like YD down below
2) that 51.25 was a strong magnet YD...so they may need to go test it
again today

Breakout of the range and you can see the delta go from - to + real quick. Gonna need a big dose of selling to return to VWAP.

hello and welcome...see the running the triples thread but in general the triples are 3 , 5 minute bars in a row.....they formed today right at yesterdays Vwap and POC and they come back to test vwap and POC often when broken....I also had that price I was watching from yesterday which was 51.25 so I had plenty of reasons for a Possible retest......there was also an air pocket on the one minute down there.....so adding was a bit agressive but justifyable...hope that helps
