Bull Flags Breaking Up
There is a very strong rally setup coming into today, so I've decided to do an AM post this time, with the video below being the section on indices from my premarket video this morning.
The rally setup is the breaks up from bull flags on SPX, NDX and RUT yesterday afternoon and this morning, and the double bottom on SPX that needs to break and convert double bottom resistance at 2683 to fix a double bottom target in the 2705-8 area. If that delivers then all three have a decent shot at a retest of last week's rally highs. Premarket Video from theartofchart.net - Update on ES, NQ and TF:
The best setup, as happens regularly, is on RUT, with the low yesterday at rising support from the early April low, and a beautiful bull flag falling wedge that broke up at the open today. RUT 60min chart:
This is a nice setup but, if it fails, SPX will likely retest yesterday's low and may well then continue considerably lower. Bulls really need to deliver this morning if they want that retest as a fail could be ugly. Rising wedge support on RUT is in the 1557 area, and if that breaks this rally setup is likely broken too.
