DOW Futures 23rd April 2009 recap

"HOOK patterns normally continue higher into Friday.....

They also don't reverse down and close back below the 5-day 50% levels....


Traders simply have to define their trading based either side of the 5-day 50% level"

DOW Weekly and 5-day pattern

Thursday started with price trading below the 5-day 50% level.

Even though HOOK patterns have a bias to rise higher into Friday, Thursday's set-up wasn't a foregone conclusion.

Price pushed down into Support (yellow) early and then continued higher into the close.

At this stage the bias remains with a higher Friday close.
