The market opened and traded near the top of the range, then sold off down to 4186.00. From there we have bounced up and currently trading near 4189.25.
It appears we are forming a range between 4186.00 and 4190.00. There is a slight uptrend line that will potentially intersect at 4188.75 but not until 11 PM Pacific.

Let’s start with the daily charts. From the very bottom of this longer term move up, price is sitting at the 23.6% retracement line. We have only touched it once based on this fib, however, plays a more important support level with price staying above that since 4/9.
On the 15 minute chart, we can see price coming back to the break-down area of 4171.25 and testing it. We will see how overnight trading moves price and how the open will process this price action.

We opened and sold off to 4153.00. Now price is back at the 4171.00 area where we originally broke down from. Buyers appear to be in control for now, but this is a spot where sellers need to step up to see if price is going to come down further.

After the sell-off, price move back up into the breakdown range, up to 4179.
However, price has come off those levels and is again below the 4171.00 level again. Buyers and sellers will be battling here to see where price will go.
Essentially, the breakdown of 4171.00 is still valid if price stays below this area.

Sellers attempted to move price down right at the open and it quickly retraced to the high of the day around 4180.00. Sellers did not come back until later in the day, leaving price near 4160.00.
This is the 38.2% fib retracement level from the low of yesterday to the high of today.
It appears this level may be an important support level to get below if sellers want to see any follow-through.
The 4171.00 is still in play while keeping in mind short positions from this level longer term may have set stops above this range at 4200.00.

Switching from range trading to trending can be difficult, but by looking at the right spots to enter we can identify some good risk/reward trades with the trend.
Here were the 4 areas where entries were very textbook:
When a level breaks and price comes back to test that, it’s a perfect opportunity to enter with calculated risk and reward.
We can clearly see price reacting to the old support and resistance levels.
FOMO can kick in but by remembering that participants need to cover their position at some point we can rely on classic price action to find good entries.

The market opened at the lower end of the range we started forming late in the day Monday. The breakdown area was 4110.75 and are currently trading around 4081.00.
If the market follows a structure similar to Monday’s trade, we can potentially expect price to sell off then retrace to the broken support areas (now resistance).
Until the market violates this with dedication, it appears the sellers are still dominating the market.
