Bulls want a higher low to form, which would allow them to put their stops further up and ideally see a new higher high. Bulls are looking to buy near the moving average. Bears want to see a decisive, large bear bar closing near its low to firmly flip the chart to always in short.
Until there is a strong breakout with follow-through, the market is going to continue to chop. With increased volatility, it is imperative to use wider stops or smaller position sizes to manage risk. The 4400\u20134500 area is significant support. On the upside, 4880-4980 is now strong resistance.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

- Bears want to close a body beneath the important neckline of 4132.1, which would create a lower low on a major structural pivot.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- This week\u2019s bar comes after a breakout bar sequence of outside-inside bars. Bulls want it to be a failed breakout with the significant tail and small bear body they were able to end the week with.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
