MP S&P Jan 16th

Notice how the Value Area Low (VAL) was only touched twice this week and both times a buy at this area resulted in a profitable trade. The first touch was on Tuesday and the second today (Friday). Today's trade was only marginally profitable.

According to my charts something interesting happened in the ES today. The developing Value Area finished exactly 1 tick inside today's value area giving us an inside VA for Monday.
