Thursday 04/27/2017
Much lower volume than of late suggesting a rest is due..

Lower volume and smaller ranges though long lower tails persist...



Monday 04/03/2017
Basically UNCH on the session...but:
Wide ranges closing with hammer-ish doji candles having long lower tails...
Long lower tails are significant IMO...it indicates the bullishness of market participants
i.e. a willingness to buy the dips, the buy-low mentality is in effect....
 Beautiful long tailed divergent reversal thru lunch
Long tailed doji on the ES and NQ too...

Friday 03/31/2017
Up slightly relative to last Friday




Thursday 3/30/2017

Monday 03/27/2017
WR long lower hammer-ish looking candles




Friday 03/24/2017

Closing spinners, WR bars with long lower tails on the big boys...volume still elevated.
The NQ is posting gains...The MACD trends have been down for most of March 
and stochasti' are still a bit outside the over-sold "BUY" areas. 
So, off-setting bull/bear technicals showing on the dailies. But it only takes one positive day 
for the STO's to begin hooking up ... **** I say GAINs next week **** (correct albeit slightly)
Keep in mind,  Wed's Hammer-Harami did pause the slaughter ...
