Tuesday’s Factors and Events

 the Daily and Weekly charts show how the 35.00 level was a breakout after forming a bit of base.

On the weekly chart, you see that the ellipse looks very different than it did in January-February.

At the point it was breaking down on the Daily charts, it was still above the weekly MAs.

So here is a case where the shorter timeframe gave us a signal before the longer timeframe.

To begin this week, not only are we watching the 35.00 level, but also the trading range is within last week’s trading range.
