06/15/2016...I was having trouble updating the current EOD page... Perhaps because the were too many charts on the page. So I cut JAN '16 thru MAY '16 posts from the 2016 EOD charts page...doing so seemed to repair the update issue.

-------------04/21/2016 Thursday-------------
Got a sell off across the board...should be expected after yesterday's ATH...

-------------04/06/2016 Wednesday-------------

Stats.........ES.........NQ.........YM
Minimal ranges closing with spinners...basically UNCH

-------------03/24/2016 Thursday-------------
Stats.....ES.....YM.....NQ.....RUT...
Minor up, closing at or below their trend lines (ES 1.5 MIL volume)... There are Hammer/Harami patterns on
all 4 housemen...which may be reflecting just a pause in the up trend or announcing the reversal of it...or not.
..
-------------03/23/2016 Wednesday-------------
Stats.....ES.....YM.....NQ.....RUT...
DOWN strong albeit on unimpressive volume (ES 1.5 MIL)...plus the ES has broken it's bull trend line.
Interesting rising NR7 patterns for the NQ, ES and YM through Tuesday...Although I did see them
I didn't mention them yesterday ... so it doesn't count as a (right) call.
The Horsemen...ES+YM...NQ+RUT
-------------03/22/2016 Tuesday-------------
Stats.....ES.....YM.....NQ.....RUT...
Stalling again on relatively low volume (ES 1.5 MIL) although the NQ printed a solid gain.
The Horsemen...ES+YM...NQ+RUT
[ Inserted 3/23/2016 ] I re-added Tuesday's Stats. They may be the 2016 highs...for a while.
-------------03/21/2016 Monday-------------
Stats.....ES.....YM.....NQ.....RUT...
Up again albeit on relatively low volume (ES 1.3 MIL)...NQ printed a solid gain.
I am sensing a slowdown in this upward momentum - just a feeling. (right)
The Horsemen...ES+YM...NQ+RUT
-------------03/18/2016 Friday-------------
Stats.....ES.....YM.....NQ.....RUT...
Continued strength this week with the YM approaching December's EOM highs.

-------------03/17/2016 Thursday-------------
Stats.....ES.....YM.....NQ.....RUT...
VOL picked up a bit, solid up candles printed on the ES and YM...The RUT finally participating too.

This morning's NR7 patterns broke out - BOTH WAYS - closing with indecisive long legged spinners.
-------------03/09/2016 Wednesday-------------
Narrow low volume ranges up...
-------------03/08/2016 Tuesday-------------
Well what do you know - a down day...
-------------03/07/2016 Monday-------------
The ES and YM are still trapped within their BZ's and are fighting their resistance channels.
The RUT moved up strong into its BZ but the NQ is still holding back and closed down..
-------------03/04/2016 Friday-------------
Closing with a strong up day to end the week...The RUT entered it's BZ but the NQ is holding back a bit.
The ES and YM are well into the Brach Zone retrace areas and are hitting their upper resistance levels...
They are also building bearish 5-wave rising wedges, contained within their respective "free air" zones.
I'm looking for weakness into next week based on the technicals...****
-------------03/03/2016 Thursday-------------
ES & YM closing up..
The RUT touching the lower area of its BZ, the NQ moving down for the session.....
The four horsemen dailies.
-------------03/02/2016 Wednesday-------------
Slight continuation up in the big boys...it looks as if the little guys will have to hurry a bit to catch up...
The four horsemen dailies.
-------------03/01/2016 Tuesday-------------
Coulda sworn I posted today's charts but I guess not.
►-----------------February 2016 -----------------◄
-------------02/29/2016 Monday-------------
Pull back from the BZ area continued today...again, a pause while the bull regroups?
Interesting that the ES and YM are above Jan's hump while the NQ and RUT are hanging back.
-------------02/26/2016 Friday-------------
A powerful two week+ move closing on a down note, under the BZ retracement although the YM did breach it this morning.
-------------02/25/2016 Thursday-------------
Still moving upwards - ES + YM leading.
-------------02/24/2016 Wednesday-------------
Wide ranges closing up - down over night then straight up from the MMO on bigger VOL.
-------------02/23/2016 Tuesday-------------
Up slightly before the majors opened but down from there...
-------------02/22/2016 Monday-------------
Nice continuation up albeit on lower volume...most of the moves came before the majors opened.
-------------02/19/2016 Friday-------------
A perfect 2B Dragon pattern has been formed...
Closing mixed but with small hammers, inside Wednesday's wide range stick...
I'm thinking today and yesterday was the "pause" before continuing toward the BZ's.****(right)
Next week - looking for a measured move to propel price past the Brach Zone retrace area of the down trend.
-------------02/18/2016 Thursday-------------
-------------02/17/2016 Wednesday-------------
Good continuation move up.
-------------02/16/2016 Tuesday-------------
Closing up with spinners and good volume, all but the NQ breaking their upper down trend channel.
-------------02/15/2016 Monday-------------
-------------02/12/2016 Friday-------------
Trended up strong from the session open closing near the highs on 2 million ES volume. The ES 2B support held.
-------------02/11/2016 Thursday-------------
Long lower shadows especially on the little guys, big volume reversals...3.2 million ES volume...
The RUT's 2B broke down but now the ES has printed one...on blow out bottom VOL perhaps. ****(right)

Long upper shadows spinning slightly down....2.3 million ES volume.
The 2B support is still holding on the RUT...

The 2B is still showing on the RUT...
-------------02/08/2016 Monday-------------
WR down but recovering 50% in the last 2 hours.....2.7 million ES volume.
An unlikely 2B showing on the RUT...
-------------02/05/2016 Friday-------------
Down trend from the MMO.....2.3 million ES volume.
ES off 1.7%, YM off 1.2%, NQ off 3.2%, RUT off 2.9%.

-------------01/27/2016 Wednesday-------------
2.1 million ES volume
-------------01/26/2016 Tuesday-------------
Reversing yesterday and printing stick sandwiches (in reverse) (ES VOL 1.8 mil)...
A Stick sandwich is a marginal reversal pattern in down trends but they are defined by a white bar flanked by black bars.
Don't know if today's pattern qualifies or not...perhaps it's a reverse stick sandwich that's bearish??
-------------01/25/2016 Monday-------------
Retracing Friday's rally on lowered volume (ES VOL 1.6 mil)...Looking like a re-test of the breakout
-------------01/22/2016 Friday-------------
Solid positive candles for the session into the close and breaking out of the down trend on lowered volume (ES VOL 2.1 mil)
-------------01/21/2016 Thursday-------------
Closing with spinners with the open/closes within the area of the past few days...ES VOL 2.7 mil)
-------------01/20/2016 Wednesday-------------
Long legged lower candles reversal day but still closing below the down trend lines...
Large hammers on very high volume (ES 3.9 mil) suggests perhaps bottom is in the process of forming
but I don't think volume was high enough to declare a blow-out bottom has occurred...****
-------------01/19/2016 Tuesday-------------
The overnight sessions rose on 2x normal vol but gave most it back in the MMO session .
Closed with long legged spinners on continued high VOL (ES 2.7 mil)
-------------01/18/2016 Monday-------------
Shortened MLK holiday session
Closing with positive spinners on light volume (ES 442k mil)...
-------------01/15/2016 Friday-------------

WR closing up...strong volume (ES 2.4 mil)...
-------------01/11/2016 Monday-------------
Log legged spinners closing nearly UNCH on strong volume (ES 2.5 mil)...
Down over 10% from last year's ATHs and oversold...
Even without blow-out bottom volume they're ripe for at least a pause if not a rally****(right)
-------------01/08/2016 Friday-------------
Long solid candles closing at the lows again, down on strong volumes (ES 2.7 mil)...
-------------01/07/2016 Thursday-------------
Long solid candles closing at the lows, down on higher volumes (ES 3.0 mil)...
Guessing 'Blow-out" bottom volume has now been achieved ...****(wrong)
-------------01/06/2016 Wednesday-------------
Continued down on higher volumes (ES 2.2 mil)...I doubt that 'Blow-out" bottom volume has been achieved as of yet...****(right)
-------------01/05/2016 Tuesday-------------
Continued down but closing with indecisive spinners and lower volumes (ES 1.7 mil)late in the day.
-------------01/04/2016 Monday-------------
Wild sell off to start the year on much larger volume..(ES 2.2 mil) ...some recovery late in the day.
