DOW Emini Daily charts

Primary trend (Yearly) Bearish
Secondary Trend (quarterly) Bearish
Intermediate Trend (Monthly) Bearish

Shorter Trends (Weekly Bullish)

Yesterday came down into the Weekly 50% level and found buying support.

Today the Monthly balance point is important because this will also need to have support and push higher into the close, otherwise a break of the Weekly .618 and the markets are heading back down.

Note: because of the Weekly timeframe, i'm looking for a 5-day sideways pattern before the next 'thrust' away from the central 50% levels.

Intra-day 5-day

Markets are trading below the 5-day 50% level.

Again there is no major high probability pattern today other than trading on the side of the Risk-Support levels.

Daily direction is an each way bet, with the higher timeframe support levels important.

My ideal pattern for a higher move is: - having a 'down' day, with a Daily 'hook' back inside the Weekly 50% level to trade upwards the following day using the Weekly 50% level as support.

At this stage I can't see Tuesday being other than being another day like yesterday, as part of a 5-day consolidating pattern for short-term traders.
